Oscar is my German shepherd of six years. On 6 January we rushed to the Tampa Emergency Vet Clinic with bloat. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $3,350. They have stabilized Oscar, but the treatment can't wait beyond March. Oscar is more than a pet - Oscar walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $210 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 the Tampa Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $3,350 goes: • Emergency surgery: $2,200 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $710 • Medication and follow-up visits: $135 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $305 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
