Bruno is my German shepherd of two years. On 29 August we rushed to Dresden Animal Hospital with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,200. They have stabilized Bruno, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Bruno is more than a pet - Bruno got me through my hardest year. I have already put $130 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to Dresden Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,200 goes: โ€ข Emergency surgery: $580 โ€ข Hospitalization (4 nights): $390 โ€ข Medication and follow-up visits: $110 โ€ข Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $120 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Serkan
