Please help us pay for Buddy's emergency surgery

Donation protected

Hi, my name is Jennifer and my family needs your help. I grew up with 3 dogs: Buddy, Simba, and Sparky. On Tuesday morning, September 7th, Buddy stopped eating and drinking. He wasn't able to get up and stayed in one corner of the living room for hours. We knew something was wrong so we rushed him to the vet. Nobody expected the vet to tell us that Buddy was experiencing internal bleeding caused by a splenic mass rupture. If no action was taken, he'd lose so much blood that he'd be dead by the end of the night. But even with the emergency surgery that would cost of thousands of dollars, Buddy had a 50/50 chance of survival and would also need a blood transfusion as quickly as possible. We decided to take that 50/50 chance and he miraculously survived. Now the next obstacle was to get an immediate source of blood since Buddy had lost so much by this point. Getting a bag from the blood bank was expensive so one of our family friends rushed Buddy's brother Simba to the vet to use him instead for the blood transfusion. We were told to keep praying since the next 48 hours would also be uncertain. Today, Buddy is back home still recovering and we hope for the best. However, we are now left with high vet bills and would appreciate any help you can give us!
