Mango is my three-legged dog of nine years. On 4 May we rushed to Sydney Animal Hospital with severe tick fever. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,950. They have stabilized Mango, but the treatment can't wait beyond July. Mango is more than a pet - Mango got me through my hardest year. I have already put $320 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 Sydney Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,950 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,050 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $430 • Medication and follow-up visits: $290 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $180 Thank you for reading my story. - Craig
