Emergency vet bill for Bruno in Tampa

A three-legged dog named Bruno needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $2,550 bill the family can't cover.

Bruno is my three-legged dog of nine years. On 23 September we rushed to the Tampa Emergency Vet Clinic with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $2,550. 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 $220 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 the Tampa Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,550 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,400 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $650 • Medication and follow-up visits: $210 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $290 Glad we found this place. - Maya
