Happy Tails!
Facing financial constraints after a recent job loss, a community member sought help from our Vet Help program when her cat, 3-D, faced a life-threatening situation. PAH facilitated a successful Urethrostomy at ARK Vet Care, relieving 3-D from bladder stones and urinary blockage, demonstrating the impactful role of our Vet Help program in transforming the lives of pets and their owners during unexpected health crises.
