Save Biscuit: Anele can't afford the emergency vet

Biscuit is my German shepherd of six years. On 10 August we rushed to Pietermaritzburg Animal Hospital with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $450. They have stabilized Biscuit, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Biscuit is more than a pet - Biscuit walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $60 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 Pietermaritzburg Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $450 goes: • Emergency surgery: $330 • Medication and follow-up visits: $45 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $75 Thanks for being kind about this.
