Hi my name is Jacob and my beloved is Pip. Yesterday early evening Pip came running from the other room shrieking in pain. I didn't know what happened and I saw no visible injury. I called the vet and after running thru some questions they said it sounded like a back sprain and to ice it and monitor him until I can get an appointment.
At this time Pip could walk a little but would get a spasm that caused him to yelp and tense and pant.
The night was not good and Pip could now not use his back legs at all and I'm freaking out.
I have Pawp emergency insurance and this morning I called the vet again. After a video consultation seeing that now Pip couldn't walk at all- they activated the emergency fund of $3000. A relief - I thought.
At the vet they ran tests, x rays and gave him pain medication. The bill was $945 and the results indicate a compressed spine and he needs to see a neurologist at a different hospital.
We transferred Pip to LAASER Emergency Hospital.
They examined Pip and have given the estimate:
$945 Angel City Vet
$3,518 LAASER Emergency Hospital- Emergency transfer neurology assessment
$14,523.46 ACCESS Emergency Hospital- MRI and Emergency spinal surgery.
I'm devastated. Pip is 4 years old and 4 months. He is my baby boy and the light of my life and so many others.
Calling all doggie Angels:
Update: we have paid $19,000 out of pocket as payment is required before any medical treatment is performed.
Can you help defer the cost of this surgery?
Anything will help.
Pip and I thank you!
