Coco Chanel is a 6 year old American Bulldog in Cumming, GA, who needs $2,733 for Emergency Care.

Coco is a full breed American Bully and she came into our life as a surprise to my wife. We already had a beautiful blue American Bully named Domino and he needed a companion, so I decided to get Coco to keep him company while we were away at work. She is totally his opposite, she is lively and loves to run and bark, she would eat her food super fast and eat his food if he was slow chewing.

A few days ago, I noticed Coco limping and becoming lethargic. Her rear left leg started swelling badly, then began bleeding and discharging fluid. I rushed her to VCA Animal Hospital in Roswell, GA, where Dr. Matthew Roper, DVM, confirmed it was possibly a brown recluse spider bite, snake bite or a fracture. He needed to take and X-RAY to confirm. These bites cause tissue necrosis.

We were referred to VCA animal hospital and they really took time to review our best options. Dr. Matthew Roper created a detailed medical plan: several days of hospitalization with IV antibiotics, fluids, pain management, and round-the-clock monitoring to stop the damage and give her the best chance at full recovery. Without this, we could lose her leg—or worse her life.

Unfortunately, we don’t have pet insurance, and the costs are overwhelming for us right now. The estimated total for VCA to stabilize her before going to a veterinarian hospital is $2186.51-$2733.14 to cover medical cost. I just pray we can stabilize her so she can fight.
