Help Me Bring Oreo Home
I don’t usually ask for help, but this time I really need people to help me to get through this. Please help me to get my boy to stand up again....
my heart is honestly totally broken at the moment. I took Oreo and Cream to the park on Saturday morning and Oreo was running happy one second and the next second he collapsed and he could not move his back legs anymore..
We rushed him immediately to the ER and the surgeon did all the assessments and advised they were very confident is a spinal disease call FCE which is like a stroke to Oreo’s spine. But of course without the MRI, they won’t be able to 100% confirm it. I was given two options:
1) keep him overnight and see whether he improves or gets worse. Or
2) do the MRI straight away
We opted for option 1 first because the specialist said Oreo still has sensations in his hind legs, so he wouldn’t push us straight away for option 2.
however, Oreo’s condition has not improved......he cannot urinate which now he will need the MRI scan to check his spine.
You all know how expensive vet bills are and especially for emergency on the weekend.
First night stayed already cost us almost $2K plus the coming up MRI which is estimated to be around $2500 and if they use any special dye during MRI that would be extra. We will also need lots of therapies afterward to get him up walking again. It’s gonna be a very long journey...
Please help me to get my baby home safe and help us to get through this.....every little bits count and we thank you very much in advance for the help.
Thank you and love,
Oreo’s mum
