Help Ollie get Radiation to Fight His Brain Tumor — TX
TX
Help Ollie Fight His Brain Tumor 🤍 If you’ve ever met Ollie, you know how special he is. He is a 7-year-old Goldendoodle and truly the definition of a giant teddy bear. He is gentle, goofy, incredibly loving, and would rather be cuddled up next to someone than anywhere else. Our lives changed when Ollie unexpectedly began having seizures that lead to an MRI discovering a mass involving his olfactory bulb. His specialists' leading concern is a rare olfactory neuroblastoma. Since then, Ollie has been through multiple hospitalizations, CT scans, anesthesia, oncology and neurology appointments, extensive testing, emergency visits and several medications. His medical expenses have already reached well into the thousands, and the biggest part of his treatment is still ahead. Ollie will soon begin 20 treatments of radiation, given five days a week over the next four weeks. Radiation is the primary treatment recommended by his oncology team for a tumor in this location. Ollie also has a twin brother, Kobe, who has been by his side and is a huge part of his world. Watching Ollie suddenly go through all of this has been heartbreaking. We want Ollie to get back to being Ollie—cuddling his family, loving on everyone he meets, and being home with his brother Kobe. 🤍🐾 We are committed to doing everything we possibly can to give Ollie the best chance and as much quality time as possible. We never imagined we would suddenly be facing this level of veterinary care all at once, but giving up on our teddy bear simply isn't an option. If you are able to contribute toward Ollie’s treatment, every single donation helps us get him through these next four weeks of radiation. If you can't donate, even sharing his story means just as much.
Milo
Milo is a 8 year old Boxer in Lorena, TX, who needs $13,000 for Spinal Decompression Surgery (IVDD surgery).
Lorena, TX
Milo is my 8-year-old dog who has been part of my life since 2018. I rescued him after finding two abandoned female boxers on the side of the road who later gave birth to puppies. Milo was the runt of the litter—small, fragile, and in need of extra care. I chose to take him in so he would have a chance at a safe, loving home, and he has been my companion ever since. Milo’s health suddenly declined after a routine X-ray and bloodwork visit. He quickly lost the ability to walk and can no longer stand on his back legs. He was diagnosed with a severe spinal injury causing paralysis and pain. We were referred to Austin Veterinary Emergency and Specialty for advanced care. Surgery may help, but there are no guarantees. Milo is special for his quiet strength and unconditional love. He’s gentle, loyal, and loves people and animals. He enjoys playing, laying in the sun, and sitting in his kiddie pool. He listens like he understands and brings comfort just by being there. He makes everyone feel safe, loved, and never alone—and he’s incredibly smart, sometimes too smart. I’ve recently gone through a divorce and am living with my grandma while on medical leave, making it hard to cover bills. Milo’s surgery is $13,000, and I can’t afford it alone. He still has so much life left. Getting him help would mean everything—relieving his pain and giv
