Surgery for Thor

Last night we rushed our beloved Thor, a Pitbull/Bull Mastiff mix;  our bubba love to the animal hospital. He had come into the living room where he promptly let out a yelp and collapsed. He wasn't able to move his legs at all and seemed to be in pain. Now the vet is saying he has a herniated cervical disc... He can't even hold his head up!

We can't even describe just how great a dog he is! The kids can climb all over him and he has never thought to do anything but kiss them. We are terribly distraught and would like to be able to help him but we're going to need $5,000 for his surgery. If you are able to help us, we'd be very appreciative since we don't want to put him down just because we can't help him. Thanks for your consideration! We love our bubba!!!
