Save Pepper: Valerio can't afford the emergency vet
A rescue greyhound named Pepper needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $2,150 bill the family can't cover.
🇮🇹 Palermo, Sicily, Italy1,939 views
Pepper is my rescue greyhound of eleven years. On 27 July we rushed to the Palermo Emergency Vet Clinic with kidney failure. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $2,150.
They have stabilized Pepper, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Pepper is more than a pet - Pepper walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $175 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 Palermo Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Pepper's recovery.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $590
• Medication and follow-up visits: $160
• Emergency surgery: $1,400
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Los Angeles.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Valerio
Hospitalization (4 nights) is $590 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
hope it all works out, Valerio. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. God bless.
thinking of you, Valerio. Shared this with my family. God bless.
rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. After 12 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
you're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Üsküdar
