Emergency vet bill for Willow in Gqeberha

Please help Pravin pay for Willow's emergency treatment at Gqeberha Veterinary Centre.

Gqeberha
Willow is my German shepherd of six years. On 17 July we rushed to Gqeberha Veterinary Centre with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $600. They have stabilized Willow, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Willow is more than a pet - Willow is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $40 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 Gqeberha Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Willow's recovery. Where the $600 goes: • Emergency surgery: $340 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $155 • Medication and follow-up visits: $55 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $50 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Pravin

  1. Quick update: $305 raised so far (51%). the plan for hospitalization is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($139 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
