Save Teddy: Richard can't afford the emergency vet
A German shepherd named Teddy needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $350 bill the family cannot cover.

Teddy is my German shepherd of thirteen years. On 7 September we rushed to Takoradi Animal Hospital with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $350.
They have stabilized Teddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond November.
Teddy is more than a pet - Teddy 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.
Funds will be paid straight to Takoradi Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Teddy's recovery.
Where the $350 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $210
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $70
• Medication and follow-up visits: $35
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $35
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Richard
Small update. $137 so far, I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 35% funded and we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($5). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for medication and follow-up visits is now scheduled.
