Merle's surgery

UPDATE: Enough money has been raised to help Merle! We ended up going to a different clinic where they took their time and didn't run into any conclusions. Merle didn't need any surgery. Our bill came put to about $3,600. We will use the money raised to pay bills and to buy Merle's food for his special diet. THANK YOU!!

Hi. My name is Nathalie, Merle's owner. Merle swallowed something and it is stuck in his stomach. He needs surgery to get it out. The vet said it would cost up to $5,000. If I can't raise the funds, I will have to put Merle down. He's a sweet boy and only 1 1/2 years old. Please help me save him!!

Please, if anyone can help, every bit would help!
