Need help with massive Vet bills for Dog an Cat

Upper Hutt, Wellington

Normally we wouldn't ask but this has all come at once.

Billee our beautiful big Ginger boy. Was a rescue kitten. At about 1yrs he had 2 major surgeries, it cost us 5k to fix his urethra as it was to narrow. He's now about 6yrs old. On Thursday 15th he came home at night screaming in pain. He had been fine in the morning. We rushed him to the vet. He had a blockage in his bladder. He's still in the vets. Estimation $1000. UPDATE: BILLEE had to have another operation today as he blocked up again at the vets.

Jed: he is 10yrs an is fit an healthy. A awhile ago he developed a growth on his shoulder we took him to the vet. They took a biopsy an confirmed it wasn't cancerous. We didn't worry about it. But it suddenly started to grow really fast. So we knew it would need removed. Now we pay $50 a week into the vet due to having 9 cats an a dog. But we weren't in credit due to losing one of our cats an our next oldest cat developing thyroid problems. So we keep thinking as soon as we have the balance back to nil then we would take Jed in. Then Jed started limping, so when I rang about Billee I spoke to the head vet about Jed. He's now booked in This Monday Morning at 8am as apparently these growths can get into the lungs an then the dog has to be put down! We don't think he's there yet but it must be close. We know it's going to cost thousands. We will update with costs up updates.

Update about Jed's Biopsy  2 September 2024

We got sad news about Jed about 6 days ago. Apparently his full biopsy they took during surgery has come back as Cancer. So the first biopsy with the needle when it was smaller did not pick it up.

The Vet said they could operate again, but they would have to take his leg, shoulder and any other area they could find it. Its a slow growing cancer, that grows through muscles etc. Apparently chemo wont help. The operation would start at $2500 depending on how much they have to cut out. If they get all of it there is still a 7% chance it will return BUT they would have to find all of it. If any is left in it will grow again. We have decided to not go with the surgery.

We are going to give him the best time of his life that he has got. The vet says its slow growing. but its obvious its been growing for awhile. Jed is not in any pain. So we are giving him treats, we are still taking him out ( he limps) but hes happy.

if we need to we will take him on a cart.

Billee so far is doing well on his medications and vet biscuits.

I have had to take some of the money from here to pay some of their bill so they know that i will pay it. please keep sharing we so appreciate it, new photos this week
