Help Hlengiwe save Rocky - surgery needed
Rocky, Hlengiwe's three-legged dog, needs urgent treatment for pyometra costing $750.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa1,010 views
Rocky is my three-legged dog of eleven years. On 9 May we rushed to Pretoria Animal Hospital with pyometra. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $750.
They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond July.
Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky got me through my hardest year. I have already put $70 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 Pretoria Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Rocky's recovery.
Where the $750 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $450
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $185
• Medication and follow-up visits: $30
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $85
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Sydney.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Pretoria.
Thank you. If you're in Pretoria I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Hope it all works out, Hlengiwe. Poor Rocky, hope they feel better soon. Put this on a community board in Tel Aviv this morning.
Sending love. Poor Rocky, hope they feel better soon. Take care.
Poor Rocky, hope they feel better soon. Thinking of Pretoria.
Take care, Hlengiwe. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
