<div>I am hoping that I can rally the support of animal lovers &amp; friends to help my 5 year old Mini Dachshund Frank get back to living his life. 






</div>

<div>Two weeks ago out of nowhere his belly became extremely distended and he was in clear distress. This is when my worst nightmare began. I wasn’t able to touch him without him crying out in pain. I immediately brought him to the VCA as it was the middle of the night and my only option. $1,000 later I was told his stomach was distended due to back pain caused by IVDD and sent on my way with a prescription. 






</div>






<div><br />
</div>






<div>5 days later, he became incontinent. It appeared that he was dying before my eyes. He sat in the corner stared at the wall shaking profusely, panting, and yelping out in pain. Again, I thought this was it for him. I rushed him back to the VCA and $500 later they sent me on my way with a diagnosis of dehydration and possible worms with some new medication. 






</div>






<div><br />
</div>






<div>Everyday since, he has “episodes” of extreme distress and any answers to why have yet to be found. 






</div>






<div><br />
</div>






<div>Luckily, today I was given a glimmer of hope at a competent vet. $400 later, he was given an X-ray, the back pain was confirmed, and I found out both his spleen and bladder are enlarged - but they are unsure why. The next step is an ultrasound to determine the cause. Then comes the treatment, and the $$$ cycle continues.






</div>






<div><br />
</div>






<div>That is why I have resorted to reaching my hands out for support. This is something I never thought I would have to do and I do have to admit that I am a bit ashamed that it is necessary for me to continue on this (hopefully) healing journey with Frank, “my best friend in the whole wide world” as I tell him every time I leave the house.






</div>






<div><br />
</div>






<div>If you know me, you know Frank is my world. He has stuck by my side through the hardest years of my life and I do not think I would be here without him. 






</div>






<div><br />
</div>






<div>I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can donate, even if it is $1.






</div>






<div><br />
</div>






<div>The emotional support I have already been shown through family and friends is what is keeping me strong through this emotional rollercoaster. Watching someone or something you love in constant agony is exhausting to say the least. If the financial burden could be alleviated, I will be able to do everything in my power to keep my best friend alive. He is only 5 years old and I’ve made him promise to stay by my side for the 20 year life span his breed typically has.
