Emergency vet bill for Poppy in Ottawa
Poppy, Wesley's dog, needs urgent treatment for severe tick fever costing $1,850.
🇨🇦 Ontario, Canada2,499 views
Poppy is my dog of nine years. On 14 August we rushed to Ottawa Veterinary Centre with severe tick fever. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,850.
They have stabilized Poppy, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Poppy is more than a pet - Poppy got me through my hardest year. I have already put $110 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan.
Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back.
Funds will be paid straight to Ottawa Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Poppy's recovery.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $490
• Medication and follow-up visits: $330
• Emergency surgery: $1,030
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
