Emergency vet bill for Milo in Tampa
Milo, Ximena's three-legged dog, needs urgent treatment for bloat costing $1,400.
🇺🇸 United States2,119 views
Milo is my three-legged dog of thirteen years. On 4 July we rushed to the Tampa Emergency Vet Clinic with bloat. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $1,400.
They have stabilized Milo, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Milo is more than a pet - Milo is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $240 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan.
Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back.
Funds will be paid straight to the Tampa Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Milo's recovery.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $810
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $115
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $475
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($310 in total) I made the first payment toward diagnostics. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
