So Heartbroken – Help Cover Vet Costs for Our Sweet Cavoodle

My Sweet Juno – Gone Too Soon

Hi, my name is Sheena and my beautiful, loving fur baby is gone. And I am appealing because now, on top of my heartbreak, I’ve been told that my insurance won’t cover any of the $20,000 in emergency vet bills.

Would you consider donating $20, $50, or $100 to help ease this financial burden?

Even while my grief is raw, the debt is overwhelming. I paid over $10,000 during Juno’s hospital stay, but there is still $12,000 left—an amount I simply cannot manage alone.

Juno was my sweetest, happiest little girl. At just seven years old, she had an incredible ability to make everyone feel like a long-lost friend. She was the center of attention wherever she went, making people smile, bringing joy, and even seeming to smile herself on our walks.

She was more than just a pet—she was my rock, my constant companion, and my light, especially through the recent hard times of my marraige break up.

A Sudden, Devastating Turn

A month ago, Juno was stung by a bee, suffering a severe anaphylactic reaction. She was hospitalized overnight and seemed to recover, but a strange cough developed. Over the next few weeks, she remained playful and happy, but her breathing became labored.

Despite visits to two vets, no urgent concerns were found—until everything became life-threatening. Two weeks ago, she struggled to breathe, and I watched in horror as her tongue turned blue. I rushed her to the emergency vet hospital, where she was placed on oxygen, intubated, and underwent multiple procedures. Despite the dedicated care of the veterinary team, they could not find a definitive cause. After a week of battling for her life, she deteriorated, and I had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye.

I held her in my arms, surrounded by love, as she left this world peacefully. After everything she had endured, it was almost a relief to see her finally at peace. But my grief is immeasurable.

The Financial Burden

Throughout her hospitalization, I paid as much as I could—over $10,000—believing insurance would help. But my claim was denied. Though I had recently taken out a policy, they refused coverage because it was not classified as an “accident.” I pleaded with them, but they only recited their terms and conditions, showing no compassion for Juno’s emergency.

Now, in the depths of my sorrow, I’m left with a $12,000 bill that I simply cannot pay alone.

How You Can Help

Any donation, big or small, would mean the world to me. Even just sharing this page would help lighten this burden. I am eternally grateful for any kindness you can offer.

Juno brought so much love and happiness into this world. She was my joy, my shadow, my everything. I miss her more than words can express.

Thank you for reading, for your support, and for honoring Juno’s memory with me.

With love and gratitude,
