Help Mercedes save Willow - surgery needed
Willow, Mercedes's three-legged dog, needs urgent treatment for a tumor on the spleen costing $1,300.
🇪🇸 Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain1,217 views
Willow is my three-legged dog of thirteen years. On 18 January we rushed to the Tarragona Emergency Vet Clinic with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $1,300.
They have stabilized Willow, but the treatment can't wait beyond March.
Willow is more than a pet - Willow got me through my hardest year. I have already put $120 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 Tarragona Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $690
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $410
• Medication and follow-up visits: $135
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $65
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wishing you the best, Mercedes. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Tarragona.
Stay strong, Mercedes. Poor Willow, hope they feel better soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Kelowna

Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Rooting for you, Mercedes. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Greetings from Ludhiana.
