Save Daisy: Luuk can't afford the emergency vet

A rescue greyhound named Daisy needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $1,850 bill the family can't cover.

Daisy is my rescue greyhound of two years. On 19 February we rushed to the Amsterdam Emergency Vet Clinic with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $1,850. They have stabilized Daisy, but the treatment can't wait beyond May. Daisy is more than a pet - Daisy got me through my hardest year. I have already put $300 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 the Amsterdam Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Daisy's recovery. Where the $1,850 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,100 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $340 • Medication and follow-up visits: $270 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $140 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Kota but we're thinking of you.

    • How is Luuk doing now?

      • Good luck, Luuk. Looking forward to the next update.

        • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Luuk?

            Thank you. If you're in Amsterdam I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.

        • Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

          • Praying for you, Luuk. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Take care.

            • Take care, Luuk. Poor Daisy, hope they feel better soon. Wish I lived closer to São Paulo so I could bring a meal. Blessings!

                Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless

                • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Luuk

                  • Luuk De BoerOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

                    The list at the bottom is the whole picture. emergency surgery is the biggest at $1,100. Happy to explain more.

                • Wishing you the best, Luuk. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

                    • Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

                      • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
