Emergency vet bill for Coco in San Francisco

A rescue greyhound named Coco needs emergency surgery - a $2,600 bill the family can't cover.

Coco is my rescue greyhound of six years. On 9 September we rushed to San Francisco Veterinary Centre with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $2,600. They have stabilized Coco, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Coco is more than a pet - Coco got me through my hardest year. I have already put $280 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 San Francisco Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,600 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,850 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $460 • Medication and follow-up visits: $130 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $160 I hope life is good to you.
