Save Ollie: Nikolai can't afford the emergency vet
A dog named Ollie needs orthopedic surgery - a $500 bill the family cannot cover.

Ollie is my dog of eleven years. On 26 September we rushed to Lviv Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $500.
They have stabilized Ollie, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
Ollie is more than a pet - Ollie got me through my hardest year. I have already put $50 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 Lviv Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Ollie's recovery.
Where the $500 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $300
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $75
• Medication and follow-up visits: $45
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $80
Thanks for reading all this.

50% there. I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
Small update. $249 so far, the plan for medication and follow-up visits is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 38% now ($189). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

Wishing you peace, Nikolai. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Stay strong, Nikolai. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Best of luck, Nikolai. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Lviv.
Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Lviv.
So sorry you're going through this, Nikolai. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
