Hi guys, I’m Kathy. Snooki’s mum. (A 1.5 year old German Shepherd) Thank you for taking your time to read this.

Snooki is currently in Veterinary Specialist Services Underwood ICU unit waiting for a specialist surgery to remove a delicate fist size abscess that’s going to save her life. And we need your help.

Snooki’s story:

Vet found a fist size lump in her and blood tests confirms infection. So they decided to rush her in for emergency surgery.

Things really escalated from there. And she’s currently in risk of sepsis.

The fist size lump is an abscess filled with infectious pus. The lump unfortunately is stuck to kidney, bladder and intestines. So the regular vet couldn’t remove it and she needed a specialist.

Snooki is currently in ICU being stabilised. They are calling in a specialist to perform the delicate surgery of removing the infectious lump from her vital organs.

ICU cost is $4500 per 24 hours and specialist fee is around $8000 (at a minimum, weekend rate may apply).

All of this is to make sure the infection doesn’t so into her blood stream and she doesn’t go into sepsis, which could potentially cost her life.

Snooki is the most loving and friendly German shepherd that couldn’t even hurt a fly.

Please help me help my baby fight this nasty thing that came in to our life uninvited like a wracking ball.

The total bill so far is adding up to $28000.

We have insurance, unfortunately it has a cap on how much they cover. We do not expect to hit this target. And we do not expect anyone to go out of your way. But please. Even $5 helps. It helps giving my baby a second chance in life.
