Finn is my German shepherd of two years. On 1 May we rushed to Mumbai Veterinary Centre with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $300. They have stabilized Finn, but the treatment can't wait beyond July. Finn is more than a pet - Finn is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $60 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. Funds will be paid straight to Mumbai Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Finn's recovery. Where the $300 goes: • Emergency surgery: $115 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $100 • Medication and follow-up visits: $50 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $35 I hope life is good to you.

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. emergency surgery comes first ($115) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
