Bruno is my three-legged dog of six years. On 20 August we rushed to the Philadelphia Emergency Vet Clinic with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $1,750. They have stabilized Bruno, but the treatment can't wait beyond December. Bruno is more than a pet - Bruno is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $210 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 Philadelphia Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Bruno's recovery. Where the $1,750 goes: • Emergency surgery: $700 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $620 • Medication and follow-up visits: $110 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $320 Glad we found this place. - Kinsley

  • Wishing you peace, Kinsley. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Put this on a community board in İzmir this morning. Greetings from İzmir.

    • Sending strength, Kinsley. Poor Bruno, hope they feel better soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

      • So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care

          Best of luck, Kinsley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best

          • Take care. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Jaffna donated after I showed her your page. Take care!

            • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Mohammedia donated after I showed her your page

              • Wishing you peace, Kinsley. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Adelaide
