Coco is my German shepherd of two years. On 26 September we rushed to Leipzig Animal Hospital with bloat. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $1,200. They have stabilized Coco, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Coco is more than a pet - Coco got me through my hardest year. I have already put $165 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 Leipzig Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,200 goes: • Emergency surgery: $510 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $280 • Medication and follow-up visits: $250 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $160 I hope life is good to you.

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. emergency surgery comes first ($510) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
