Milo is my rescue greyhound of thirteen years. On 28 August we rushed to the Charlotte Emergency Vet Clinic with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $1,050. They have stabilized Milo, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Milo is more than a pet - Milo is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. 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 Charlotte Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,050 goes: • Medication and follow-up visits: $110 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $280 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $660 Thank you so much. - Ximena

Updates from Ximena

  1. Quick update: $200 raised so far (19%). the plan for hospitalization is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $387 so far, I made the first payment toward medication and follow-up visits.

  3. We're at 60% thanks to 17 of you. I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
