Hi! To all my friends who know me, you know several months ago a half Bloodhound puppy stole my heart. I named him Howard and fell in love with him more a little bit every day.

About 3 weeks ago, he started developing a very painful problem the vet thought was growing pains. It turns out it probably isn't. It's probably more likely something neurological, but to diagnose it properly requires a spinal tap, which goes with an MRI. The total of all this is $5,000, which I do not have. He's on medications now, but it's not improving. I'm trying to raise money to pursue the correct diagnostics to save his life.
