Ollie's bloat: help with the vet bill

Ollie, Teresa's cat, needs urgent treatment for bloat costing $2,600.

Ollie is my cat of thirteen years. On 10 September we rushed to Dallas Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $2,600. They have stabilized Ollie, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Ollie is more than a pet - Ollie is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $390 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 Dallas Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Ollie's recovery. Where the $2,600 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,600 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $550 • Medication and follow-up visits: $165 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $285 Glad we found this place. - Teresa

Updates from Teresa

  1. 12% there. the plan for diagnostics is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($491 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $541 raised so far (21%). I made the first payment toward hospitalization. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
