Coby's Testing & Surgery

Hello there, my name Coby. I am a 7 year old Boston Terrier. My mommy says I look like a mini cow because I am white with black markings, a splash

I am a happy little boy who loves to smile. I was born with one good eye and one under developed eye. Plus my back legs do not work properly.

I was found as a stray at the age of three years old. I was taken in by MidAmerica Boston Terrier Rescue who found me my forever home in Wentzville, MO. They are the family I have been searching for my whole life. My mommy loves me very very much and wants me to get better and help my legs be as normal as possible because over the years they have worsen.

I visited with a Specialist at MIZZOU who is assuming, without further testing, that I have lesions on my spine and thus causing the nerves in my spine not to work right. This is effecting my back legs. My legs give out on me very often and I no longer have control of my bowls or urine.

I NEED A MRI to confirm the root cause so we can fix it. Doc tells me that I have a 75% chance of becoming a normal dog after surgery.

I try very hard now to be a normal dog but it's hard sometimes when I cannot run, jump and even walk normally. My mommy cannot touch my back legs without my legs kicking or giving out on me. Sometimes I will just be laying there and my legs fire up and start kicking and I have no control over it. I have a very hard time walking on hardwood floors so my mommy has rugs all over the house so I don't slip and fall. I cannot climb stairs or even jump on the couch or bed. I do not sit or lay correctly. My mommy carries me very often which I know is a lot of work.

I pray that I will get help financially so that I can get the test needed so we can determine next steps.
All I want is to live the rest of my life happy, healthy and able to walk with my loving family.

My goal is $2000 raised for the MRI at MIZZOU. Thank you in advance for any donation you can make towards my MRI so that doc knows what needs to be done to fix me.

This is just one of the ways I sit funny.



I love laying with my puppy sister.



I love to cuddle with my mommy.
