Buddy is my German shepherd of two years. On 9 June we rushed to the Toronto Emergency Vet Clinic with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $2,700. They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond August. Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $250 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 the Toronto Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Buddy's recovery. Where the $2,700 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,600 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $570 • Medication and follow-up visits: $250 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $280 Glad we found this place. - Jade
