Cocoa is a 9 month old Mix-Breed in West Hartford, CT, who needs $1,845 for Emergency Exam and X-ray.

We adopted Cocoa about three months ago. She was a little stray puppy rescued from Arkansas and transported up to CT. My kids and I went to an adoption event “just to look at the doggies,” and Cocoa ended up coming home with us. She is the sweetest, smartest, goodest girl ever. She really completes our family, and even though she is a little stinker, we love her so much!

On Saturday we came home from a busy evening, and found that Cocoa had chewed up a toy that had a mini tennis ball in it for bounce. After a few days of diarrhea, I took her to urgent care. X-rays revealed that she might have a soft foreign body in her stomach. We are now at the ER to repeat imaging, and the costs are racking up fast. We are at VCA in West Hartford.

Cocoa is such a smarty. She learned all the basic commands SO FAST, and she is one of those dogs that will sit, lie down, roll over, and give you her paw as soon as she sees you approach with a treat. She lies down and loves belly and ear scritches, and if you sit on the floor, she is ON YOUR LAP. She gives kisses, and just loves her hoomans so much!

I am a solo mom on SSDI (disability), and paying for emergency pet care just isn’t even remotely in my budget. I’m not sure how much this will end up costing, but just yesterday’s urgent care visit already came to $845. We are now at the VCA ER, and costs are evolving.
