Help Ellie Walk Again After Recent Decline

Hello,

We are trying to raise funds for our 7-year-old German Shepherd. Her name is Ellie, and over the last year, she has slowly developed a condition that cannot be figured out without further testing.

Ellie has nearly completely lost her ability to walk (she is helped outside with waist straps). She has been tested for degenerative myelopathy, and her tests came back with only one copy of the gene, meaning there is a high chance it is not affecting her. Her latest imaging shows no masses or damage, just minor arthritis.

Our concern is a possible mass, not seen by radiographs, that could be causing pressure on her spine. Our only possible next step is an MRI. A full cost breakdown will be listed below, along with contact information for our vet and the animal hospital we are attempting to treat her at.

I just lost my mom to cancer 1 month ago, please help us to keep our pup alive and strong, she should have easily another 6+ years left in her. She was still able to run and play only a couple of months ago.

Treatment place and cost:

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your consideration.
