The vet came to see Lila the llama. And we just got the news that we were dreading.
We’re coming up short for Lila the llama, friend.
The vet just came to give Lila critical care… and the medical bill that we knew would be BIG just hit.
It includes expensive radiographs, ultrasounds and examinations for Lila and many other residents whose joints and other medical needs required desperate attention.
But there is good news:
A very generous friend of Lila’s — and all of the Full Circle survivors— just pledged to MATCH every dollar you give through MIDNIGHT to help us pay off this bill and still meet our quarterly budget.
Lila has been here for four years. She’s a little sassy (sometimes even cranky!), but that’s probably because she’s getting older…
That means she faces some of the same kinds of issues we do as she ages.
And what the radiographs uncovered was just as we feared: Lila’s joint issues are severe and a source of significant pain, swelling, and distress. Her arthritis is getting worse.
If not treated – this could have dire consequences. If one of her legs fails, there isn’t anything else we can do.
But this expense was worth it. Now we can put together a new medical plan to give her the quality of life she deserves. But that can only happen if we cover our expenses.
Heidi the goat – originally found abandoned, tied to a chain-link fence with her legs bound together with twine – got her foot tangled in some branches and needed urgent care. The vet was able to radiograph her immediately. With a stroke of luck, no break was found, but like for so many of our residents, initial signs of arthritis were discovered.
You know, Lila and Heidi’s stories are not unique. We must meet the medical needs of all of our aging residents.
Every month, as these bills stack up and expenses grow (especially for SENIOR animals like Lila), we hope we won’t have to make the tough decisions a budget shortfall would entail.
