On June 20th 2023, my dog Mia Spot was outside playing as normal when she took off into the high grass. I figured she was going to turn and burn or potty and come right on back when I heard her start screaming. I hollered for my brother and started towards her when he shot off a round toward the back property and Mia came running back with a large laceration to her right ear and some punctures on her neck and head. Her ear was half detached. We saw a large animal run off into the field and I have yet to figure out if it was a mountain lion or a coyote that snatched her. I rushed her to Fort Collins emergency vet yelling for help when I got inside and they took her from me and got her in the back immediately. I had no idea how to pay the bill at the time as I didn’t get paid until a few days later. The staff was very helpful on how to get approved for the ladybug fund and did their best to help me while I was in hysteria. The ladybug fund helped Mia get treatment that day. She was given light sedation and 5 sutures, they also covered her pain meds and antibiotics (which I have no doubt was pricey). Mia Spot has since made a full recovery and I could not be more thankful for the help they provided that day. She has full hearing back in her ear and little scarring on the back. We will continue to make donations as often as possible to help any other furbaby in need, and we are eternally grateful.

As a veterinarian and a pet owner, I know how difficult it is to have a pet emergency. The Ladybug Fund has helped many pet owners to pay for medications and treatment for their animals when they otherwise would not be able to receive it due to financial constraints. This organization has guidelines which allow pet owners to receive financial aid in return for the pet owner providing continued care.

I work in a veterinary emergency hospital where we are often able to use Ladybug funds to help animals when their owners cannot afford the cost of life-saving treatments. The Ladybug fund is a wonderful program because it gives back directly to the community and helps us provide exceptional veterinary care, even when there are financial constraints. I'm thankful to have the Ladybug fund available so that I may help the animals as much as possible.
