Juno is my German shepherd of eleven years. On 5 March we rushed to the Joliet Emergency Vet Clinic with pyometra. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $3,350. They have stabilized Juno, but the treatment can't wait beyond June. Juno is more than a pet - Juno is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $270 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 Joliet Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $3,350 goes: • Hospitalization (2 nights): $790 • Emergency surgery: $2,300 • Medication and follow-up visits: $260 I hope life is good to you.
