Biscuit is my dog of eleven years. On 11 June we rushed to Adelaide Animal Hospital with bloat. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $2,100. They have stabilized Biscuit, but the treatment can't wait beyond August. Biscuit is more than a pet - Biscuit walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $340 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 Adelaide Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Biscuit's recovery. Where the $2,100 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,300 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $420 • Medication and follow-up visits: $100 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $280 Glad we found this place. - Wesley

Updates from Wesley

  1. Thank you all. We're at 78% now ($1,647). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward diagnostics.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,120 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $570 raised so far (27%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  • any update on how things are going in Adelaide?

    • So sorry you're going through this, Wesley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Edmonton so I could bring a meal.

        • Sending good thoughts, Wesley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.

          • hope things get better soon, Wesley. Hope you get there. Thinking of Adelaide.

              thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

              • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Gazipur this morning

                • Hang in there, Wesley. Give Biscuit a hug from me. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Patna.

                  • Hope you get there. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

                    • Wishing you the best, Wesley. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
