Help Jasmine and Jessie get Peanut his own set of wheels
Donation protected
Update- Peanut, AKA Speed Racer, got his wheelchair. I’ve updated a few pictures as he learns his new wheels. Thank you to everyone who donated and help make this possible.
I’m posting this on behalf of two of the biggest animal lovers you’ll ever meet.
“To those of you who don't know, this is peanut, we rescued him off the streets almost 2 years ago to the day. He's been a bundle of joy in our life with the most out going and loving personality. On march 18th our lives changed when he jumped off our porch the wrong way and ruptured a disk in his back. He was diagnosed with boxing syndrome, a spinal issue common in dogs with log backs.
Initially our vet said anti-inflammatories typically help and no residual issues linger. Unfortunately the next day our vet called us and said he was completely paralzyed in his hand end and needed surgery ASAP. He underwent surgery later that day to relive the pressure in his spine and the specialist said it's a 50/50 chance he'll regain mobility
Unfortunately, we've now passed the point of post op we should've started seeing him regain mobility and he's officially been declared paralyzed in the back end with only a 1% chance of recovery moving forward.
This is a huge lifestyle change to our lives as my partner and I are very busy and relied on our ability to allow our dogs to run free on our property for a majority of the day to release energy on a day to day basis. He's an incredibly active dog and LOVES to play with his siblings so this has been the most agonizing 3 weeks for him.
With the hind end paralysis also comes with incontinence to the fullest extent. We now have to rely on diapers and puppy pads while he is inside as well as expressing his bladder every few hours to avoid accidents. But he's WORTH it all. He's only 5 years old and still full of personality so we want to do EVERYTHING we can to make his life as happy as possible.”
They’ve already spent nearly $10,000 between surgery and supplies. Not to mention the hours of of at home physical therapy for Peanut. Please help Jasmine and Jessie raise enough money to get Peanut his very own wheelchair.
