Ginger's bloat: help with the vet bill
Please help Dorcas pay for Ginger's emergency treatment at Dar es Salaam Veterinary Centre.
🇹🇿 Tanzania370 views
Ginger is my tabby kitten of six years. On 27 February we rushed to Dar es Salaam Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $250.
They have stabilized Ginger, but the treatment can't wait beyond April.
Ginger is more than a pet - Ginger is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. 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 Dar es Salaam Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Ginger's recovery.
Where the $250 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $125
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $75
• Medication and follow-up visits: $40
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $10
Glad we found this place.

Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($25). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for medication and follow-up visits is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($15 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hang in there, Dorcas. Hope you get there. Thinking of Dar es Salaam
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Lucknow but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Dar es Salaam.
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
