Save Simba: Sani can't afford the emergency vet

A German shepherd named Simba needs orthopedic surgery - a $405 bill the family can't cover.

Simba is my German shepherd of nine years. On 31 August we rushed to Ibadan Veterinary Centre with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $405. They have stabilized Simba, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Simba is more than a pet - Simba is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $25 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 Ibadan Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $405 goes: • Emergency surgery: $290 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $70 • Medication and follow-up visits: $40 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $5 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
