Help Senthil save Bruno - surgery needed

Bruno is my German shepherd of eleven years. On 10 June we rushed to Thane Veterinary Centre with bloat. 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 August. Bruno is more than a pet - Bruno is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $20 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 Thane Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $500 goes: • Emergency surgery: $280 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $100 • Medication and follow-up visits: $50 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $70 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
