Bruno has never met someone that he hasn't treated as his best friend. He has brought much joy into the lives of so many, but he has had a rough couple of weeks. Last Monday I took him to his vet and he was found to be severely anemic. He was rushed to the doggie ER last Tuesday and was given a blood transfusion and multiple test. He stayed there for 2 nights and was released without a diagnosis. I again brought him back to the ER this Monday and after an abdominal ultrasound we learned he had a mass invading and partially blocking his duodenum. That was the source of the anemia as it was causing a bleed. They recommended surgery, but I decided to bring him to a specialist instead. After much thought and counsel from the oncologist, I decided to go ahead and have Bruno's surgery today. I'm sure you are wondering why wouldn't I just euthanize Bruno. Why would Justin put this pup through so much? This is the hardest decision I have ever made. But being that Bruno is almost 11 years old he still has many happy years ahead. He was excited to go for a ride this morning, perked up when we drove by McDonald's (thinking he would score a French Fry), and put his nose out the car window to smell. I then realized that Bruno feels great, except for the mass in his tummy, a mass that would kill him if it wasn't removed and one that was causing discomfort to the point that he would have to be euthanized soon if it wasn't removed. I am happy so say that Bruno's surgery was successful, and he is recoving. He will probably spend at least 3 nights in the hospital and he is in good hands. The goal set I this LFEBridge page is what his bills are to date. The bills have added up quickly and I am 100% responsible for them, but if you could spare even $5 it would be greatly appreciated. We recently moved back to Florida and funds are tight. I am happy to go without if it benefits Bruno, but at this rate I might not be able to make the credit card payments. Bruno has a good life ahead of him still and I know he can't wait to see and play with you soon. Thank you
