Help Zainab save Pixel - surgery needed
A German shepherd named Pixel needs orthopedic surgery - a $300 bill the family can't cover.

Pixel is my German shepherd of thirteen years. On 31 July we rushed to the Shubra Emergency Vet Clinic with severe tick fever. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $300.
They have stabilized Pixel, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Pixel is more than a pet - Pixel is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $45 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 the Shubra Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Pixel's recovery.
Where the $300 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $110
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $85
• Medication and follow-up visits: $50
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $55
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thinking of you and your family, Zainab. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Poor Pixel, hope they feel better soon. Blessings.
Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Love from Nagpur
