Emergency vet bill for Juno in Melbourne
A German shepherd named Juno needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $2,500 bill the family can't cover.

Juno is my German shepherd of six years. On 12 August we rushed to Melbourne Veterinary Centre with kidney failure. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $2,500.
They have stabilized Juno, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Juno is more than a pet - Juno got me through my hardest year. I have already put $210 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 Melbourne Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Juno's recovery.
Where the $2,500 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $1,600
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $410
• Medication and follow-up visits: $320
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $170
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
Updates from Rebecca
Wanted to say thank you properly. 30% funded and I made the first payment toward diagnostics.
Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($450). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

So sorry you're going through this, Rebecca. Poor Juno, hope they feel better soon. Greetings from Dasmariñas.
You're not alone, Rebecca. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Cebu City so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Melbourne.
