Save Finn: Gerhard can't afford the emergency vet
Please help Gerhard pay for Finn's emergency treatment at Stellenbosch Veterinary Centre.
🇿🇦 South Africa1,205 views
Finn is my rescue greyhound of thirteen years. On 8 May we rushed to Stellenbosch Veterinary Centre with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $600.
They have stabilized Finn, but the treatment can't wait beyond July.
Finn is more than a pet - Finn walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $95 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 Stellenbosch Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Finn's recovery.
Where the $600 goes:
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $175
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $65
• Emergency surgery: $360
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Poor Finn, hope they feel better soon. Thinking of Stellenbosch
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gerhard.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. hospitalization (3 nights) comes first ($175) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
wishing you peace, Gerhard. Hope the recovery goes smoothly
Rooting for you, Gerhard. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Rajshahi this morning
