Help Avery save Ginger - surgery needed
A rescue greyhound named Ginger needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $1,750 bill the family can't cover.

Ginger is my rescue greyhound of thirteen years. On 19 September we rushed to the Perth Emergency Vet Clinic with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,750.
They have stabilized Ginger, but the treatment can't wait beyond November.
Ginger is more than a pet - Ginger got me through my hardest year. I have already put $105 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 the Perth Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $840
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $520
• Medication and follow-up visits: $210
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $180
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Looking forward to the next update. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Avery
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. emergency surgery comes first ($840) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you the best, Avery. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Perth.
Thank you. If you're in Perth I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Semarang this morning. Blessings.
Stay strong. Poor Ginger, hope they feel better soon
Thinking of you, Avery. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Best of luck. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Rome.
