Teddy is my dog of six years. On 5 May we rushed to Kampala Veterinary Centre with severe tick fever. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $200. They have stabilized Teddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond August. Teddy is more than a pet - Teddy got me through my hardest year. I have already put $50 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 Kampala Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Teddy's recovery. Where the $200 goes: • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $50 • Medication and follow-up visits: $15 • Emergency surgery: $135 Every share and every dollar helps.

          Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Juma.

          • Sure. The biggest one is diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork), $50. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

        • Best of luck, Juma. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.

          • is there anything that isn't money that would help Juma?
