Gypsy is my retired PEDD (Patrol Explosive Detector Dog) from the US Army. Gypsy has lumbosacral disease which is a degenerative spine disease that causes him a lot of pain and will end in paralysis if not treated. He takes 4 medications 3 times a day and can still barely stand at times. Gypsy is getting worse as the days go by. I'm told he needs surgery as soon as possible. He has already lost a significant amount of feeling in his left leg. Unfortunately the surgery is very expensive and needs to happen now. Gypsy is only 5 and can live a full life with successful surgery.
