It is with my heart in my hands as I start this Gofundme fundraiser. Until last week we thought that Kobe had a condition called Patellar Luxation (Disfunction or knee which makes the knee cap pop out and unable to pop back into place)
A few days later we found that whenever we touched his arm or back he would scream in pain. We brought him in for x-rays right away and still couldn’t find the problem.
Yesterday August.7.2020 we found out that Kobe is suffering from Cervical Disc Disease which is very similar to IVDD

We will need to get extensive testing and surgery by the neurological department at CanadaWest. We were given a Ball park estimate at $10,000.00
Until then Kobe is required to stay in a kennel with his neck propped up. We bought him a mobile kennel bag, similar but upgraded with wheels like the one he used to travel in. Kobe is a happy, friendly, loving, chubby baby who just loves to cuddle, eat, lick and sleep. This fluffy cotton ball can not handle pain :( It’s extremely difficult watching him scream in pain everyday.
Any help is appreciated at this point and I would like to thank you all in advance for the thoughts, support and prayers.
God Bless, Love, Kobe Kim
