Bruno is my dog of six years. On 9 September we rushed to the Cali Emergency Vet Clinic with bloat. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $650.
They have stabilized Bruno, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
Bruno is more than a pet - Bruno is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $80 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 Cali Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Bruno's recovery.
Where the $650 goes:
• Medication and follow-up visits: $80
• Emergency surgery: $480
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength, Mauricio. Hope you get there. God bless.
good luck, Mauricio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Nice
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Cali.
