Help Expo Get His Wheels!
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Expo. As you can see from my photo I am a sweet miniature dachshund. I am only 8 years old, however in most recent months, I have ran into some significant health issues. Sadly, I suffer from IVDD (Interveterbrate Disc Disease). I was initially diagnosed in August 2015. During that time, I underwent strict crate rest for 11 weeks along with medical management. For a while I was feeling great, I was back on my four feet - living life to the fullest - playing with my brother Frank and my loving family.
However, no more than several weeks ago - things took a downward turn. In the middle of March 2016, I went completely down again. This time was really different. I am a little embaressed to write this, but I couldn't even control my bladder (how will I ever win over the lady wieners in this state now). My loving family have spent endless hours caring for me and taking me to the vet for various treatments - acupuncture, laser treatment and more medical managment. Not too mention, my loving human mother does water therapy with me on an ongoing basis. I love my family so very much and the vet tells them I have a lot of fight left in me and it's not my time quite yet. The vet has also informed my family that I am not a candidate for surgery and that the best option for me right now is to get a fancy set of wheels. Mom tells me that these wheels will take the place of my back legs, so that I will no longer have to drag myself around. I can't bare the thought of my family enduring any more expenses, given in recent months the vet bills have surpassed more than any family should ever have to endure. I know they really can't afford any more expenses, but I also know they love me and I love them. So with that being said, I am truly hoping you will find it in your heart to donate to help me get a set of wheels. In fact, you can visit Eddie's Wheels to view their lovely doggie wheelchairs (which is where my mom plans to purchase them from). Please help me get back on all fours and get back to living life like I am meant to.
Many licks and loving barks:
