Buddy is my rescue greyhound of three years. On 9 March we rushed to the Bogra Emergency Vet Clinic with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $200. They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond May. Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $40 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 Bogra Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $200 goes: โ€ข Hospitalization (3 nights): $70 โ€ข Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $35 โ€ข Emergency surgery: $95 Thanks for reading all this. - Rima

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rima

    • Rima KarimOwnerAnswer

      It's all in the list in the story. hospitalization (3 nights) is the big one at $70, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.

    Keep going, Rima. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Love from Bangkok!

      How is Rima doing now?

      • Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

        • sending good thoughts, Rima. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings

          • It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

            • Thinking of you. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
