Bruno is my rabbit of three years. On 20 August we rushed to Istanbul Animal Hospital with kidney failure. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $400. They have stabilized Bruno, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Bruno is more than a pet - Bruno is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $95 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 Istanbul Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $400 goes: • Hospitalization (3 nights): $140 • Emergency surgery: $195 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $65 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Defne
