Donate to help Hobbes and our family
Donation protected
Hi! I’m Erielle but more importantly I’m one of the lucky people who get to call Hobbes my family. Hobbes just turn 5 march 19 2024 but sadly on his birthday he suddenly lost the ability to walk. Over night he became paraplegic due to a genetic disease very uncommon in labs called degenerative disc disease. It caused one of his spinal disc to slip and cause sudden and hopefully only temporary paralysis. Early that morning he was rushed to the emergency vet and then eventually we were able get him to a hospital to fit him in for an mri where we were informed he needed to be rushed into surgery if we wanted to give him a chance to walk again. But even with our rushed attempt of getting him to surgery his chance of eventually walking again had dropped from 90% to 50% within a few hours. We did not hesitate to get him into that surgery nonetheless as he deserves everything we can do to provide him the best life. That is why I’m here to ask you if you would please donate to Hobbes to help us do exactly that. With the surgery, mri, vet bills, recovery medication and now this whole new handicap dog life style that need countless amount of expensive items it all quickly adds up to around 20,000$ and my family just doesn’t have the means to remotely cover it unfortunately. It pains me so so greatly to say but with what we have we just wouldn’t be able to give Hobbes the life he deserves and needs to live a happy and good quality life causing us to painfully consider the possibility of letting him go at such a young age where he was living his best life just 2 days ago. So please if you could donate or share my family would be incredibly grateful to you
, thank you.<3
