Tucker is my three-legged dog of thirteen years. On 18 August we rushed to Barranquilla Animal Hospital with bloat. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $650.
They have stabilized Tucker, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
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.
If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to Barranquilla Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $650 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $310
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $210
• Medication and follow-up visits: $70
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $60

Poor Tucker, hope they feel better soon. Love from Columbus
Wishing you peace, Karina. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Gondar so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Jimma.
