Help with Kings Emergency Surgery
Venmo : MMANAHAN11


My German Shepherd, King, went from playing in the yard at 4pm to convulsing, heaving, and his stomach turning rock hard by 4:30pm

We rushed him to MedVet, as "bloat" is a fatal condition German Shepherds can face, who was ready with triage and a surgeon and he was diagnosed with GVD (basically a twisted stomach that is actively bloating without an exit and restricting the blood vessels flowing to his heart).

He was moved to Central Ohio Veterinary Emergency facility where they told us to make the decision between putting him down (as his stomach could essentially explode inside him causing sepsis) or to have them perform emergency surgery that will allow him to go back to his normal quality of life after a few days.

We obviously chose the surgery as he is our precious baby boy and I can never explain how much he means to me and our family.

He finally got taken back for emergency surgery at 2am this morning after begging them to perform the surgery with $600 down. The surgery will un-twist his stomach, possibly remove part of it, remove his enlarged spleen caused by this and suture his stomach lining to prevent future issues. Included in the surgery fee is a charge for emergency services after the procedure (if he has an arrhythmia, complications coming out of it, etc., and his recovery treatments) but these will not be performed if the balance isn't paid by then.

I had to sign an agreement to pay the remaining balance of $5,500.00 by 3pm 7/28 which I will work my a** to make happen for him as he is the best boy and deserves to be here with us instead of being put down when the surgery WILL correct this. So, here I am, asking anyone that is able/willing to help me at all with our baby boy.

This came on so sudden and right after other unexpected expenses, so I am at a loss and my last ditch effort to get this paid and have his treatment finished so he can come home. We chose this surgery so he wouldn't have to be put down solely over money.
