I found this little fella in garden on Sunday morning. I have seen him around the neigbourhood a few times and even snapped this picture of him (actually her) when she was still healthy and relatively happy. I noticed on Sunday morning it was unable to walk and it seemed severly distressed and in pain. Enquiries in the neighbourhood about her owner turned up nothing. Needless to say I took her down to the vet (Dumaguete Animal Clinic). I payed for some x-rays to be taken and it was revealed this morning that she has a fractured pelvic bone.

Now for the HARD part. It is going to cost 12k php for her to have an operation to pin the bones together. As a foreigner I learned that their is no animal welfare organisation here in Dumaguete. I personally cannot afford to pay the money for the operation, otherwise I would gladly do so.

Therefore I appeal in my first to post to the Dumaguete expat society to help us raise funds to help this little creature in need...

I challenge each one of the readers/visitors to make a small contribution directly to the Dumaguete Animal Clinic (tel. ph 422-0596) to help this poor animal in her hour of need. The staff at this clinic even voluntered to pay for her food and medicine out of their own personal income. Personally I will contribute 2k php. So we only need five more souls to help!

Maybe Rhoody can suggest alternate ways to help her. If any of you guys have businesses / resorts we can even make it a joint project to adopt her and maybe generate some publicity in return for your generosity.

Please people let us make this a case of "Pay it forward"
