Help with Roscoes Surgery

Donation protected
This is Roscoe he is my 5 year old German Shepherd. Anyone that knows me or knows him knows that he has always lived an active lifestyle and enjoys running and playing on the beach with other dogs and he loves  going for hikes. He is a very sweet and friendly dog who I love very much and is a big part of the family and loves his pawrents. Roscoe started dragging his rear left leg on the ground and was having issues with keeping weight on it, he can only keep weight on his right leg but he is even having issues with that and is becoming very weak in his hind legs. We recently found out that he has Intervertable disc disease (IVDD).  Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is a condition where the cushioning discs between the vertebrae of the spinal column either bulge or burst (herniate) into the spinal cord space. These discs then press on the nerves running through the spinal cord causing pain, nerve damage, and even paralysis.


 It is very heart breaking to see my baby struggling to walk or go outside to use the bathroom. It is also sad to see him struggling to get up and try to play with my other two dogs, I have to keep him calm and cannot allow him to play with the others right now.  As of right now we are doing the conservative care with just the steroids and medication to reduce the swelling of the cord and reduce the pain. It is recommended that we get a MRI done which will cost $1500 and from there the back surgery starts at $6500. Surgery is the better option that would give him the better chance of being able to walk normal again.
