Help Joyce save Bruno - surgery needed
Bruno, Joyce's German shepherd, needs urgent treatment for a foreign object blocking the intestines costing $500.
🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya625 views
Bruno is my German shepherd of thirteen years. On 5 August we rushed to Likoni Animal Hospital with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $500.
They have stabilized Bruno, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Bruno is more than a pet - Bruno 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 Likoni Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Bruno's recovery.
Where the $500 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $290
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $100
• Medication and follow-up visits: $30
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $80
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
hang in there, Joyce. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Joyce. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
thanks for sharing this, Joyce. Give Bruno a hug from me. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Take care, Joyce. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Kota.
Keep going. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Put this on a community board in Mexicali this morning. Thinking of Likoni
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Give Bruno a hug from me. Greetings from Mwanza.
