Buddy is my rescue greyhound of six years. On 26 February we rushed to Heraklion Animal Hospital with bloat. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,500. They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond May. Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy got me through my hardest year. I have already put $185 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 Heraklion Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Buddy's recovery. Where the $1,500 goes: • Emergency surgery: $960 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $300 • Medication and follow-up visits: $165 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $75 Glad we found this place. - Dimitra

  • Sending strength, Dimitra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Dar es Salaam so I could bring a meal. All the best.

      You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.

      • Good luck, Dimitra. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Salem but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Heraklion.

        • We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Love from Mumbai.

          • Take care. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Tarragona but we're thinking of you. Blessings
