Save Rocky: Santiago can't afford the emergency vet

Rocky is my dog of eleven years. On 21 January we rushed to the Oakland Emergency Vet Clinic with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,400. They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond March. Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky 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. If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to the Oakland Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,400 goes: • Medication and follow-up visits: $145 • Emergency surgery: $1,050 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $205 If you're reading this, thank you.
