Ginger is my rescue greyhound of two years. On 18 August we rushed to the Burnaby Emergency Vet Clinic with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $2,300. They have stabilized Ginger, but the treatment can't wait beyond December. Ginger is more than a pet - Ginger is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $270 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 Burnaby Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,300 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,550 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $260 • Medication and follow-up visits: $320 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $170 Thanks for being kind about this.
