Tucker is my dog of three years. On 31 August we rushed to Leeds Veterinary Centre with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $850.
They have stabilized Tucker, but the treatment can't wait beyond November.
Tucker is more than a pet - Tucker walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $270 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 Leeds Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Tucker's recovery.
Where the $850 goes:
• Medication and follow-up visits: $160
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $200
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $490
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

good luck, Joyce. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
