Ginger is a 8 year old Labrador Retriever in Richmond Hill, GA, who needs $10,753 for Pancreatitis and Spleen Issues.

I was first assigned to Ginger while working for Explosive Countermeasures International Inc. When she retired, my former boss/owner of ECI blessed me andallowed me to adopt her and give her a forever home. We’ve moved from NY to MS to GA together. After losing my retired military working dog, Dano, she helped heal my heart. Ginger isn’t just a dog—she’s family, my best friend, and my wholeworld.

Ginger started vomiting alot, so I took her to the vet. Her vitals were good and the X-ray showed no foreign body, but she was dehydrated. After we got home she stopped eating and became very lethargic, so I rushed her to Urgent Pet Care of Savannah. She has pancreatitis, severe dehydration, and an enlarged spleen that may have a mass. She’s hospitalized right now.

Ginger has been by my side through everything. We’ve moved together from New York to Mississippi and now to Georgia. She rarely barks, loves to cuddle, gets excited for her meals, loves playing catch and tug of war and is friendly with everyone she meets. She truly has the sweetest, most gentle soul. 🐾

Ginger’s first vet visit was $443.97. When she worsened, Urgent Pet Care of Savannah hospitalized her for severe pancreatitis—$3,932.73, plus $400 if resuscitation is needed. The vet also suspects a mass and possible surgery estimated at $10,753.08.
