Nova has been my best friend, my heart, my soul for 12 years, and 11 months. She turns 13 next month. I’ve had her since she was just 5 weeks old—barely big enough to fill my hand—and she’s been by my side through everything since I was 18. I can’t imagine my life without her. I don’t know how to live without my sweet hotdog. She’s the cutest dog in the entire world to ever exist, and I’ve never loved anyone or anything more.

Today, on our walk, Nova’s back legs suddenly gave out. I hoped it was something minor that would pass, but when she didn’t, I rushed her to the emergency animal hospital. After hours of tests and consultations with multiple vets, Nova has been admitted for urgent care.

The high-end estimate for her treatment is $14,000. It’s a staggering amount, but I can’t give up on her. Nova isn’t just my dog—she’s my heart, my family, and my greatest source of love and comfort. She’s saved my life in ways I can’t even begin to describe, and I need her to make it through this.

Nova has brought joy and light to so many people’s lives with her sweet, angelic soul. If you’ve ever met her, you know how truly special she is. I’m reaching out to anyone who can help, no matter the amount, to give Nova the care she needs to celebrate her 13th birthday and hopefully many more milestones with me.

Thank you for your kindness and support—it means the world to both of us.

Cost Breakdown and Why Your Help Matters

The total estimated cost for Nova’s care is $14,000, and every step is crucial to diagnosing and treating her condition:

• Initial ER Visit and Hospitalization: $3,473.46

This covers Nova’s emergency care, testing, and monitoring to stabilize her and ensure she’s ready for further evaluation.

• Neurologist Consultation and MRI: Estimated $4,000

The MRI will help determine the cause of the pressure on her spine—whether it’s a bulging disc, a tumor, or something else—and guide the next steps in her treatment.

• Surgery: Quoted at $6,500

Once diagnosed, surgery will address the underlying issue to give Nova the best chance at recovery and a pain-free life.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward these essential procedures. Your support means the world to me and Nova as we fight to get her the care she deserves. Thank you for helping my girl.
