Emergency vet bill for Tucker in Istanbul
A dog named Tucker needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $450 bill the family can't cover.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye1,198 views
Tucker is my dog of three years. On 25 August we rushed to Istanbul Veterinary Centre with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $450.
They have stabilized Tucker, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
Tucker is more than a pet - Tucker is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $100 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan.
Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back.
If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to Istanbul Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $450 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $250
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $105
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $95
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
