Save Rocky: Tewodros can't afford the emergency vet
A dog named Rocky needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $350 bill the family can't cover.

Rocky is my dog of six years. On 1 July we rushed to Jimma Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $350.
They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond August.
Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky 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 Jimma Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $350 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $250
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $40
• Medication and follow-up visits: $25
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $35
Thank you for reading my story.
Updates from Tewodros
Update from Jimma: we've started the first stage. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 11% funded and the plan for diagnostics is now scheduled.

Sending love. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Sydney donated after I showed her your page. Love from Sydney.
Hope it all works out, Tewodros. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
Take care, Tewodros. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Best of luck, Tewodros. Give Rocky a hug from me. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Best of luck, Tewodros. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best!
