Ismael is a 3 year old Goat in West Chicago, IL, who needs $2,500 for Bladder Stone Removal.

Our Goats were gifted to us from a farm due to my father who had raised goats since childhood was struggling with Chronic Kidney Disease. He wasn't able to go out much and wanted goats to re live his childhood.

A few days prior, Ismael suddenly lost his spark. Usually fun loving and hyper energetic just got quiet. A few hours in I noticed he had struggled with urination. Went immediately to VEG Animal ER and was treated with love and tons of care for his bladder stone and blockage issues, which does have an increased risk of occuring, especially in males

Ismael is just a pure joy and fun loving goat. Id say super spoiled but loved by all. Infact I don't even think he realizes he's a goat by his mannerism, loves sitting on coaches and eating his meals with us. Loves playing rough with me but super gentle with my aging parents, almost like a guide dog for them, grinding them around the house if needed.

Currently have a fixed income, nearly all my income goes towards bills and household expenses making any emergency occurrence like the one with Ismael an even more stressful event. Just charging everything on credit cards just to make sure he's safe and healthy
