Teddy is my German shepherd of six years. On 7 July we rushed to the Belo Horizonte Emergency Vet Clinic with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $600. They have stabilized Teddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Teddy is more than a pet - Teddy is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $55 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 Belo Horizonte Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Teddy's recovery. Where the $600 goes: • Emergency surgery: $360 • Medication and follow-up visits: $45 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $195 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Cláudio

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cláudio

        • Cláudio AlmeidaOwnerAnswer2mo ago

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. emergency surgery comes first ($360) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.

      • hope things get better soon, Cláudio. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.

          Sending strength, Cláudio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Belo Horizonte

          • you're not alone. Poor Teddy, hope they feel better soon. Take care.

            • Rooting for you, Cláudio. Hope you get there. Love from Onitsha.

              • keep going. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

                • Praying for you, Cláudio. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
