Title: We Can't Afford My Rescue Dog Golu's Treatment Anymore. I Don't Know What to Do.
My rescue dog Golu has been unwell and needs proper veterinary treatment. We first took him to the government veterinary hospital, but unfortunately there has been no improvement.
The only option now is a private veterinary hospital, but we simply cannot afford it.
The expenses add up very quickly:
₹500 just for the consultation.
Around ₹3,000 for blood tests and X-rays (this is what they cost during his last visit).
Then medications and any further treatment.
A single visit can easily cost ₹5,000–₹6,000, and right now that is beyond our means.
Last year, we somehow managed to pay for his treatment, but our financial situation has changed completely. We are no longer in a position where we can spend that amount.
We've also reached out to almost every animal NGO and rescue we could find in Kanpur, but unfortunately none of them have been able to provide financial assistance or take over his treatment. Some simply don't have the resources, while others said they couldn't help.
I'm posting here to ask:
Does anyone know of any low-cost veterinary hospitals or charities that can help?
Are there any organizations anywhere in India that provide financial assistance for pet medical treatment?
If you've been through something similar, how did you manage?
Watching him suffer while knowing treatment exists but being unable to afford it is heartbreaking.
Any advice, resources, or guidance would mean the world to us.
Thank you for reading.
I also took help from ChatGPT to put this post together, so I hope I've explained everything clearly.
