Hi, our gorgeous puppy Roo means the absolute world to me and my family. He's a 1 year old golden retriever x cocker spaniel who's incredibly adorable, naughty, fun and silly - and he has soo much more life left in him. He's developed acute kidney failure from likely an infection or toxin and his only chance of survival is temporary dialysis. He is so young and kidneys were perfectly and entirely fine just last week so he has a reasonable chance of recovery and would have a good quality of life once he gets through this so please help us save my soul dog. The funds will be used directly on dialysis and admission at the centre SASH in Sydney (explained at bottom), as we are from Melbourne, there's also all the travel and accomodations costs that will be covered by us. Every single cent will mean so much to us to help our baby recover.

Costs: Dialysis is capped at 28,000 per week for the first 2 weeks (and they get 3+ treatments a week), with 2 weeks being the minimum time they normally do for pets initially. After which, depending on improvement/prognosis may do more (at around 1000-3000 for each day), may deem the pet has recovered well enough to not receive more treatment or manage as outpatient, or may suggest the pet is unlikely to recover and other options should be considered.

Given Roo is so young the hope is recovery after the 2 weeks of admission!

The team at SASH Veterinary Hospital is lovely and already taking such lovely care of our boy ❤️
