Donate to Pip's Back Surgery so he can walk again

Story

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!
