Hello and happy sunny day Bellingham!

This is an update to a previous post.

My name is Sam, I posted a little time ago regarding the need for help with vet bill expenses because my dog, Hazuki, was injured after being hit by a car in Happy Valley. After careful decision with many qualified overseeing veterinarians, Hazuki needed an amputation of her right rear leg. Well, thanks to Village Veterinary Hospital and their staff, her surgery was a complete success and she has been on the road of a healthy recovery ever since.

Hazuki responded well to her stitches, and we made sure they were kept clean and dry while she healed. About a week ago, she did have her stitches removed, and while she is required a lot of resting still due to a minor fracture in her hip needing time to heal, she has been showing off her skillful movement abilities at times.

In addition to giving the community an update (who doesn’t love a happy recovery story), I also wanted to come on here and say thank you for the attention I received on my last post. Not only did the Bellingham Reddit allow me to post (with no previous account activity) AND feature it on their page, we had many people in our community come to our aid. Hazuki’s GoFundMe has received over $2,000 to help pay off her vet bills, which is an amazing gift to both her and I, as her totaling amount between; the initial hospital treatment, a 24hr monitoring period, daily bandage changes, bloodwork, X-rays, amputation surgery, etc. have totaled to \~$8,000.

Thank you so, so very much again to AEC and Village Veterinary Hospital for the amazing care of Hazuki. Thank you as well to Brad, the kind stranger who drove me (car-less) and Hazuki to the hospital after witnessing the accident. And thank you once more to the Bellingham community for blessing me in my time of need, I received so much more help than I thought possible!
