My name is Frederick Campbell. My dog Portgas D. Ace, a 5-year-old black Labrador, is having serious complications after his neuter surgery.

Here’s what happened:

• Ace was neutered 9 days ago.

• We followed every instruction. He wore his cone the entire time and was kept calm.

• A few days after surgery, there was some light bleeding. We checked in with the vet, and they said it was normal.

• Today, his scrotum is swollen again, back to the size it was before surgery. It looks painful and wrong.

• The vet only communicates by text, so I’ve been sending updates and waiting for a reply. I’m scared and not sure what to do next.

The expected costs:

• Emergency exam: $100-$200

• Imaging or ultrasound: $200-$400

• Drainage, surgery, or treatment: $300-$600+

• Medication and follow-up: $100-$200

Total estimated range: $700-$1,400

I’m doing everything I can to get him seen as soon as possible. Any help you can give will go directly to his vet care and recovery.

Ace is my best friend. He deserves to be healthy and pain-free again.

Thank you for reading and caring.
