UPDATE: 24/10/2025 - Coco had her surgery today, all went well, melanoma removed and she is still groggy from anaesthetic but good! Wearing her Elizabethan Collar and no licking allowing. The vet - Dr Peter from the Taroona Dog Clinic has been excellent with his care. This fund-raising amount has covered her initial consultation fee, surgery and medications. We are so very grateful. Thankyou for all your support, it means the world to us! [ Especially because my car also needs surgery - but luckily I have a Nils loan to cover that. ] onwards and upwards with healing.❤️

Hi, Lisa & family here, we are reaching out to community to help us pay for urgent surgery needed for our beloved Coco dog, shes 10 yrs old and we have discovered a tumour [ which the vet thinks is a melanoma on her vulva area] which needs removing, along with at least 4 mammary lumps which may or may not be benign.

Please see below vetinary consultation & expected surgery estimates.

We love our Coco, and costs like this exceed our current capacity to afford immediate treatment. I am applying for a Nils loan to assist with costs that may or may not be reached here. We so appreciate that so many people & families are in financial hardship, so if you cannot donate, we would be so grateful if you could share this with your networks.

Coco is such a loved companion and her ability to care for us, means that we want to reciprocate the best care for her right now.

Any donation amount is received with our utmost gratitude and love.

Thankyou!

Lisa, Ruby, Massi & Lotus.❤️❤️
