Save Ginger: Bruna can't afford the emergency vet
Please help Bruna pay for Ginger's emergency treatment at Feira de Santana Animal Hospital.
Anywhere in the world1,582 views
Ginger is my German shepherd of thirteen years. On 8 February we rushed to Feira de Santana Animal Hospital with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $850.
They have stabilized Ginger, but the treatment can't wait beyond April.
Ginger is more than a pet - Ginger walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. 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 Feira de Santana Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $850 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $490
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $250
• Medication and follow-up visits: $55
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $55
Thank you so much.
