Coco is my 4-year-old male Maltese dog, and he’s more than just a pet—he’s my little guardian angel. When I was bedridden during a fragile pregnancy, Coco never left my side. After I lost my baby, Coco comforted me in ways I can’t even describe. His love and loyalty have been a constant source of strength for me, and I truly consider him family.

This morning, Coco started vomiting and pooping blood. I rushed him to the vet, and after X-rays, I was told he has an intussusception in his intestines. Hearing this news broke my heart, especially because I cannot afford the hospital bill to treat him. I feel so lost and helpless right now, and I’m reaching out for support in hopes that I can get Coco the urgent care he needs to survive this disaster.

Any help you can give—no matter how small—would mean the world to me and Coco. Your kindness will help give him a fighting chance to recover and come back home where he belongs. Thank you so much for reading our story and for any support you can offer.
