Most of you already know Tucker. For those of you who don't, Tucker is a 10 month old pitty puppy that has been through the worst of disparities in his short life thus far.
Tucker had the misfortune of being with a homeless family that starved him, neglected him, and allowed him to suffer a horrible injury which wasn't treated by a veterinarian. Tucker is missing a rear leg and recent xrays revealed that his leg was torn off, not surgically removed! Moreover, Tucker is suffering from a spinal cord injury as a result of the incident. We aren't privy to the details of what happened to Tucker.
Tucker ended up at Humane Society of the North Bay, and was pulled by CARES Rescue. He's currently in foster care with me, Corinne Tate. And I have taken it upon myself to get all the help available for Tucker so he can have the best possible care and rehabilitation. He had not had a proper diagnosis of his injuries prior to being removed from his previous abusive situation.
So far, you all have donated money so that Tucker could receive a new wheelchair, have xrays taken, and see an orthopedic surgeon. His next step in a proper diagnosis and prognosis for his future requires him to have an MRI so we can find out what's going on with spinal cord. Once that's done a neurologist will recommend a treatment and rehabilitation plan for Tucker.
The $2600 breakdown is as follows:
$140.00 consultation with Neurologist.
$1900.00 MRI
$560.00 MRI interpretation.
