Help my 17-year-old ringneck get veterinary care

My female Indian ringneck parakeet is 17 years old. Over the past week she has had persistent difficulty flying, clumsy movement, and what looks like trouble judging space around her. I am not claiming to know what is wrong - that is what the vet is for.

Goal: $100+

Appointment booked for August 8, 2026 at 1:00 PM with Dr. Veresovskaya at AiBiVet veterinary clinic in Minsk. I am also trying to get an earlier appointment if one opens up.

What the money is for

$100+

This may cover the consultation, transport to and from the clinic, diagnostics the vet decides are needed, medication, and follow-up care. Any amount above the initial $100 goal is reserved for additional veterinary care for her - nothing else.

  • Transport
  • Diagnostics

Why I am asking this way

I live in Belarus, and most international fundraising platforms are unavailable to me. Cryptocurrency is currently the most reliable way for people abroad to help. A direct USD bank-transfer option is also listed, although availability depends on the sender's bank.

Please contact me on Telegram before sending a bank transfer. Some banks may require additional SWIFT or correspondent-bank details, and transfers to Belarus may not be supported by every sender bank.

What I can and cannot say

  • The appointment is booked for August 8, 2026 at 1:00 PM with Dr. Veresovskaya at AiBiVet veterinary clinic in Minsk. I am trying to move it earlier if a slot opens.
  • I will post updates and receipts after the visit so anyone who helped can see where the money went.
  • I am not claiming any diagnosis before she is examined. I only describe what I can see: trouble flying, clumsy movement, and what looks like difficulty judging space.
