Justice needs your help

This is Justice, he is my emotional support dog. I was blessed with getting him in 2015 due to Jason Marchand murder........ Justice was my saving grace and has brought so much love back into my life. In a blink of an eye my life changed forever. I am a different person now and I wish no one ever has to live through that kind of loss and pain. Dogs truly give you unconditional love. Justice saved me most days I couldn't even get out of bed and I felt like I didn't want to go on.. I can talk about it now the depth of my pain and how I have overcome it. I have learned to love life again and this is due to Justice... I did have support of others but he was my one constant. He helped me thru the nights. He calmed me when I have a panic attack or felt over taken by emotion. I thought my life was over when Jason died, but this little guy showed me I could still love and be loved. One of the hardest things in life is watching someone you love in pain.We do not know what is wrong with Justice at the moment he been having pain (we think it’s with his spine) we have tried the dasuquin Advanced and aspirin for pain but nothing seemed to help. Yesterday he was soundly sleeping on couch and woke up suddenly yelping nonstop and crying he limped over to my mom who touched his belly and didn't feel anything hard he went to corner and was shaking. I was not home so I was only 20 min away came home took him to Pieper. So far X-rays yielded no objects in stomach or intestinal tract. Vet states based on his breed mostly likely could be one of the follow (pinched nerve, Herniated disc, maybe disc disease, too young but there always possibly of a tumor but they cannot know for sure.. but hearing this my heart is breaking vet was really nice and me asking all my questions about what it could be Pieper went above and beyond..
Right now the bill is already very high already
MRI they said is going to cost $$$$ with an overnight stay and meds and everything..
I was not going to do this till a 3rd friend suggested it, part of me felt ashamed asking for help with me still be out of work on part time due to having Covid and having lingering issues with my asthma and heart... But they told me nothing shameful in asking for help.
If anyone can help I would very much appreciate it.
4/7 Justice came home he has a herniated disc at c6/c7 he on prednisone and pain meds to manage his pain levels.... he is to be crated 24/7 for the next 4 weeks.. I had to buy a crate... a friend letting me borrow one until mine comes in.. Justice is an emotional support dog this will be hard he is used to being by my side and comforting me or sitting in my mothers lap... now having to sleep in a crate and be crated 24/7.. im in tears for him..
5/18 he is having a very hard time adjusting to being crated he is feeling dejected and is making himself sick.. to the point of almost hyperventilating and throwing up... I've been on phone to vet constantly... I'm trying to keep him crated but I will not allow him to have a these panic attack either.... I didn't realize how much we were connected until this happened.. I new he was my emotional support... but it never dawned how much I was HIS.. its a two way street we talk about emotional support for humans but doesn't the animal also form a bond.... that kind of bond is not so easily broken... he is not understand that he needs to stay still he can not get up on the bed... he can not jump... this is for his own good.. I've even gone so far as to sleep right next to him on the floor by his crate with the door open just so he will stay inside the crate at night and sleep ill have one hand inside on him.
