Save Bruno: Lorenzo can't afford the emergency vet

A German shepherd named Bruno needs emergency surgery - a $2,300 bill the family can't cover.

Bruno is my German shepherd of three years. On 17 September we rushed to the Houston Emergency Vet Clinic with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $2,300. 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 $185 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 Houston Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,300 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,550 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $330 • Medication and follow-up visits: $155 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $265 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Lorenzo
