Tucker's a broken leg after a road accident: help with the vet bill
Please help Akoth pay for Tucker's emergency treatment at Nairobi Veterinary Centre.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya228 views
Tucker is my rescue greyhound of two years. On 23 April we rushed to Nairobi Veterinary Centre with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $100.
They have stabilized Tucker, but the treatment can't wait beyond July.
Tucker is more than a pet - Tucker is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. 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 Nairobi Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Tucker's recovery.
Where the $100 goes:
• Medication and follow-up visits: $30
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $25
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Akoth
Thank you all. We're at 49% now ($49). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward diagnostics.

Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mumbai.
Stay strong, Akoth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Sending strength, Akoth. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Madrid but we're thinking of you.
