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.
🇺🇸 Houston, Texas, United States2,129 views
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.

Wishing you peace, Lorenzo. Give Bruno a hug from me. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Coyoacán this morning. Take care.

Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Comilla.
Thinking of you, Lorenzo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Lorenzo. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Berlin but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Lorenzo. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean.

Poor Bruno, hope they feel better soon. Thinking of Houston.
Thinking of you and your family, Lorenzo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 3 people at work. Blessings.
