Emergency vet bill for Teddy in Seoul
A German shepherd named Teddy needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $1,100 bill the family can't cover.

Teddy is my German shepherd of three years. On 20 September we rushed to the Seoul Emergency Vet Clinic with pyometra. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,100.
They have stabilized Teddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond November.
Teddy is more than a pet - Teddy got me through my hardest year. I have already put $145 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 Seoul Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $105
• Emergency surgery: $940
• Medication and follow-up visits: $55
With deep gratitude,
Ji-hye

Sending love, Ji-hye. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Coventry.
Sending love, Ji-hye. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Seoul.
Thanks for sharing this, Ji-hye. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
