Officials say the emergency response to the Ebola crisis in Dallas cost the city about $155,000, including nearly $27,000 to care for the dog of a nurse (Nina Pham) infected with the virus.

City officials released a statement Wednesday outlining the expenses incurred since Thomas Eric Duncan was admitted to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in September. Duncan died about a week later. Two nurses (Nina Pham and Amber Vinson) who treated him became infected. Both recovered.

Meanwhile, the Texas Department of State Health Services says it incurred about $1.28 million in costs.

The cost of caring for human Ebola patients is much heftier: about $30,000 a day, according to the University of Nebraska Medical Center, which has treated three such cases.

Officials say the cost to care for the dog belonging to nurse Nina Pham will be offset by $19,000 in grants and donations.

The cost to Dallas County and Texas Health remain unclear.
