Hi everyone. I am unfortunately reaching out with a heavy heart as my dog, Kobe, is currently fighting through a sudden & severe spinal condition (IVDD) that has left him in unbearable pain & unable to walk or use his back legs. He went from running around to paralyzed within 12 hours.

I rushed him to emergency care twice in the matter of 6 hours & now he’s facing surgery to relieve the pressure on his spine—a procedure that could save his mobility, his comfort, & his future. The cost of surgery & care has been estimated at over $14,000, & I’m doing everything I can to make that possible for him.

He’s such a happy, playful soul—& in a blink, that spark vanished. His tail hasn’t wagged, his eyes are full of pain, & the sweet personality I know so well is buried beneath fear and confusion. After a chaotic 24 hours, all I want is to bring him home again—safe, back to himself, & at peace.

I hate asking for help, but I’m asking now—for him. As without this surgery, the vet communicated that he could be facing permanent paralysis. If you can give anything, even $1, it would mean the world. And if you can’t, simply sharing this is just as appreciated.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, donating, or simply sending good thoughts. Every bit of love counts right now.

With gratitude,

Anissa
