A few days ago, my dog Cocoa had a medical emergency. After apparently eating mushrooms in the yard, I awoke to her exhibiting symptoms that at first appeared stroke-like. After making her comfortable and spending time with her at what I thought was end-of-life, she started to behave normally. She was walking around, eating and drinking and begging for attention. This changed when she wandered off and vomited blood. The emergency vet that I took her to did a fantastic job and were able to tell me it was acute gastroenteritis paired with a nearly lethal spike in her liver ALT levels. This required hospitalization for several days for her to receive the necessary fluids, shots and medications she needs. It's almost time to take her home, and now I'm faced with a vet bill nearing 4000 dollars that I do not have. So I need help. Cocoa needs help. Any amount given is a godsend and will help alleviate my stress and most importantly pay for Cocoa's life-saving care.
