Ella is a fluffy brown, black and white dog in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and a champion lap napper. Right now she has a bad case of ear mites, which make her ears itch and hurt, and she is due for her rabies shot.
Her family is raising $400 for the vet visit to treat her ears and get her vaccinated. A few gifts or shares can cover it. Below is help we found near Parkersburg.
Where things stand
The goal is $400 for Ella’s vet visit to treat her ear mites and give her rabies shot. Her vet’s detailed estimate is $375.44, and the goal leaves a little room in case the final bill runs higher. I’ll post updates here as they come in.
