Save Willow: Ivan can't afford the emergency vet

A German shepherd named Willow needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $850 bill the family can't cover.

Willow is my German shepherd of six years. On 17 August we rushed to the Moscow Emergency Vet Clinic with bloat. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $850. They have stabilized Willow, but the treatment can't wait beyond December. Willow is more than a pet - Willow got me through my hardest year. I have already put $70 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 Moscow Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Willow's recovery. Where the $850 goes: • Emergency surgery: $590 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $95 • Medication and follow-up visits: $105 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $60 Thank you for reading my story.

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ivan

      • Ivan Pavel KuzminOwnerAnswerID verified

        Sure. The biggest one is emergency surgery, $590. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
