Emergency vet bill for Coco in Arlington
A dog named Coco needs emergency surgery - a $2,350 bill the family can't cover.

Coco is my dog of two years. On 6 August we rushed to Arlington Veterinary Centre with kidney failure. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $2,350.
They have stabilized Coco, but the treatment can't wait beyond September.
Coco is more than a pet - Coco got me through my hardest year. I have already put $140 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan.
Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back.
If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to Arlington Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $1,600
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $460
• Medication and follow-up visits: $155
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $135
Every share and every dollar helps.

wishing you peace, Paula. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hope it all works out, Paula. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Uberlândia but we're thinking of you
