Bruno is my cat of two years. On 22 February we rushed to Barranquilla Veterinary Centre with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $350. They have stabilized Bruno, but the treatment can't wait beyond April. Bruno is more than a pet - Bruno walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $85 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 Barranquilla Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $350 goes: โ€ข Hospitalization (4 nights): $125 โ€ข Emergency surgery: $190 โ€ข Medication and follow-up visits: $35 Glad we found this place.

  • What's already covered and what's the $350 for?

    • Bruno W. BravoOwnerAnswer

      It's all in the list in the story. hospitalization (4 nights) is the big one at $125, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Bruno. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Barranquilla.

    • Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Nairobi!

      • Caroline H. StoneQuestionID verified

        Any chance of seeing the vet's estimate?

        • Bruno W. BravoOwnerAnswer

          Yes, I have it and I've sent it to the moderators. I'll also put a copy up in the updates with my details hidden.

      • So sorry you're going through this, Bruno. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in The Hague donated after I showed her your page. Take care!

        • Heather GrayQuestion

          Does the money go straight to the vet clinic or to you?

          • Bruno W. BravoOwnerAnswer

            It comes to me first, then I pay the vet clinic myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Fair thing to want to know.

        • We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Don't give up. Greetings from London.

          • give Bruno a hug from me. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Kampala.

            • Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

              • Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Sydney
