Meet Felix - A 5-year old, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who lives with his Mom in New York City. Felix had always been his same sweet & spunky self until about  a year ago when he was noticeably itching his back more then usual. After several visits to the vet and a number of misdiagnoses (including  dry skin & allergies) he was finally diagnosed with Syringomyelia. Unfortunately, this is a serious disease that not only affects Felix but many other cavaliers.

What this diagnosis means for Felix is that he was born with a small skull which has started to squeeze his brain resulting in spinal fluid. While his condition is currently well-managed with medication, he is already beginning to experience negative symptoms from this disease. As this is commonly known as "neck scratchers disease" Felix also now has arthritis due to the constant scratching. If he does not get his surgery soon, his symptoms will only continue to worsen to increased pain and loss of feeling in his legs. 

With his surgery expected to cost upwards of $5,000, any kind of contribution helps--small, large, a like or a share. 

As I'm sure many of you can relate, dogs are more than just pets, they are family. 

Thank you in advance!
