Rocky's a foreign object blocking the intestines: help with the vet bill
A German shepherd named Rocky needs emergency surgery - a $400 bill the family can't cover.

Rocky is my German shepherd of thirteen years. On 5 April we rushed to Bacolod Veterinary Centre with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $400.
They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond May.
Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $20 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 Bacolod Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $400 goes:
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $65
• Emergency surgery: $280
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $55
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out, Charmaine. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
