Hey there, I hate fundraising...but I feel like I don't have a choice here. I'm on disability for congestive heart failure, strokes, and other stuff and am on a fixed income. I feel like I'm backed into a corner with not a lot of choices.

This is Lucifer, he is my rottweiler/doberman. He is 2 1/2 years old. I got him when he was 10 weeks old and have raised him since. He is a gentle giant but also my protector, he follows me everywhere and guards me and I love him so much.

He loves to play so much and I feel so bad for him right now. His favorite is playing fetch with his red ball.

In the past couple of months, I notice Lucifer start walking funny and had a bit of a limp. I thought it was his leg...but then noticed he started getting clumsy and would fall sideways. It started to become more frequent, couldn't jump on the bed anymore, and has trouble getting on the couch now and the step into the house within the last two weeks. He is my baby boy. My dogs are my life.

I took him to the vet on 03/31/23 and they x-rayed him which showed something wrong with his spine and they thought he could use some anti-inflammatory medication and hoped it would help. They said to give it a week and in the meantime would send some bloodwork in for further testing. The bloodwork came back okay. I waited and gave him the anti-inflammatory but he continued to get worse.

I took him back to the vet 04/05/23 and they determined that since there is no improvement, Lucifer has something wrong with his spine and needs to be seen by a neurologist asap and get a MRI for treatment, will most likely be spinal surgery...depending on the severity and what their diagnosis is.

I refuse to put my Lucifer down unless it has to be and then I will be crushed forever

My Lucifer is the most loveable creature and would never hurt a soul. He gets along with his brother & sister.

He doesn't deserve this and I need to get him treated & soon. Every time he falls, it just stabs me in the heart. I don't know if he is in pain but I'm sure he is and I hate every second of this.

I don't expect much from yall, but please anything would help or even just share this page to raise funds for Lucifer, I would appreciate it.

Much luv to you all

Love, Lucifer
