Help Baby the Chihuahua Get Life-Saving Surgery

Hello everyone. This is my first time posting on here asking for help instead of providing it. My dog Baby is sick and she needs any help that anyone can spare. Baby is an 8-year-old apple head Chihuahua who has a history of seizures that had no root cause (or so we thought). It was being treated with anti-seizure medications. We’ve now learned that she has hydrocephalus (fluid in the brain) that has caused vestibular disease. She is unable to walk, and her neck is permanently turned at an angle with all the fluid pressing down. This little lady is fighting to live and to be her old self again. We don’t want to put her down because she has so much life still left in her. I can see it in her eyes…she wants to live. However, we can’t afford the surgery or MRI. The emergency hospital in Oradell, NJ told us it would cost between $4,000-$10,000 total to get the MRI and do the surgery that would drain the fluid from her brain. I tried applying for pet insurance for her, but it won’t cover this as it’s considered a preexisting condition. Please help however you can. Is there a vet that you know or an animal group that would be willing to help her get this life-saving surgery? I am starting this GoFundMe because whatever you can provide will go towards saving Baby. I’m just so at a loss and so confused and so sad, and I’m scared to lose her, and it’s all my fault because I can’t afford to save her.

For reference, I live in Hackensack, NJ, and I’m willing to drive anywhere in NJ, New York state, or Pennsylvania to get her help. I just want my Baby to live.

*****UPDATE******

I called around and got pricing from Mt. Laurel Animal Hospital in Mt. Laurel, NJ:

- Neurological Consultation is $195

- MRI is $2,600-$3,800

This is the current goal I am trying to meet to get her seen as soon as possible and properly diagnosed with imaging.
