Tucker is my rescue greyhound of three years. On 18 August we rushed to the Cincinnati Emergency Vet Clinic with bloat. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,400. They have stabilized Tucker, but the treatment can't wait beyond December. Tucker is more than a pet - Tucker got me through my hardest year. I have already put $380 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 Cincinnati Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,400 goes: • Medication and follow-up visits: $130 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $290 • Emergency surgery: $980 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Samuel

  • can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Cincinnati.

    • Samuel ColemanOwnerAnswer

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about medication and follow-up visits, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.

  • you're not alone, Samuel. Give Tucker a hug from me. Don't give up

    • Could you add a copy of the vet's estimate with private details blacked out?

      • Samuel ColemanOwnerAnswer

        I sent the vet's estimate in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. Fair thing to want to know.

    • Keep going, Samuel. Poor Tucker, hope they feel better soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.

      • Wishing you the best, Samuel. Give Tucker a hug from me. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

        • Any update on how things are going in Cincinnati?

          • Thanks for sharing this, Samuel. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. God bless.

            • our local union branch has an emergency fund, might be worth asking them!

              • Hope it all works out, Samuel. Poor Tucker, hope they feel better soon. Love from Birmingham
