Frankie’s Friends helped Oscar from Brooklyn, NY where he was treated for leptospirosis. This is a note from Oscar’s family.
UPDATE!
“Oscar is doing great, thankfully! We’ve been going back to BluePearl for periodic re-checks (blood-work) since he was discharged from the hospital and his levels have been progressively improving. His last recheck was this past Saturday and all his blood-work was in normal range!!
This whole experience with Oscar getting sick was very stressful for us, mainly because we were very worried for Oscar’s well being, but also due to the astronomic costs of him being in emergency care. He spent 11 nights at the hospital, and I am sure you can imagine the bill. Frankie’s Friends was very generous in off-setting some of the costs, and for helping us and we greatly appreciate it.
He is very energetic, playful and back to his old self! It feels great to have him home with us again! ”

“Thank you to Frankie’s Friends for providing us with fundamental assistance to help us save our little lhasa apso Oscar (Oski). He has been at BluePearl Veterinary Hospital in Brooklyn for over a week now, in urgent care. Oscar was diagnosed with leptospirosis which affected his kidney and liver functions. Thankfully he is showing great progress thanks to the vets at BluePearl, but the nature of this infection has a long recovery process. Frankie’s Friends has been gracious to help us with some of the costs in order to have Oscar there to recover to a stage where we can take over caring for him at home.
Oscar is three and a half years old. For my husband and I, he is really part of the family. We love him very much and his presence at home really fills the household with love. This past week where he hasn’t been home has been very tough. We can’t wait to have him home again - where he greets us energetically every morning as we get out of bed, and chases his tennis balls around the house, and “guards” the household from the windowsill with his lion-like fierceness. Oscar’s energy and friendliness has really won over everyone’s heart who is in contact with him. Our friends and family all care for him very much, and often ask us how he is doing — not only since he’s been sick but in general.
Again thank you! ”
