On Friday night, October 8, Apu went into the hospital in Zurich Switzerland, where we were guest teaching at Zurich University of The Arts dance department.

Apu is being treated for severe gastrointestinal inflammation or “enteritis” at the hospital.

After numerous tests (blood work, X-rays, ultrasound and four nights in the hospital), the medical expenses are approximately $3,500.

Apu is receiving excellent care, but as we are stuck in a very expensive city for treatment my freelance dance teacher salary is insufficient to cover all costs.

Apu is a friend

Apu is eleven. He has lived in three cities and two continents. Everywhere he goes he brings joy to those around him.

Apu is having follow-up care in Vienna where we will be based the next month. We have a good network there and the vet is near.

On his last checkup the doctor did another round of blood work and ultrasound. She wants to check it again on October 22nd to see if there is need for a surgery to remove his gallbladder.

Some bright days behind… and ahead
