This isn’t the easiest thing to write as I’ve never been in this situation before.. 
  
On Tuesday 9th January I received a call whilst at work from my mum in tears that my little girl Lily became totally paralysed and unable to weight-bear.

She was rushed to southern counties and given an MRI and emergency surgery for a ruptured disc and kept in ICU till Thursday and then discharged home Friday evening with multiple medications totalling  16 tablets a day for pain, sedation and antibiotics and a nerve pain blocker. 

The surgery was successful and lily has shown some signs of improvement.. she is now diagnosed with stage 5 IVDD, at only 3 years old, We won’t know the prognosis and if she will get back on her legs and be able to run and play with her sisters it’s just going to be  a waiting game!
   
Lily has to be crated for 6 weeks initially and possibly longer depending on her recovery, will walk with a body sling to support her weight and have intensive physiotherapy and constant monitoring and medication….. 

She was insured for £15,000 till October when I had to lower the policy to  £4000.00 as it being increased to £3,500.00 for the year for lily and her sibling ruby! And was financially not possible for me so I lowered it to what I could achieve, It’s now Sod’s Law and this has happened!

Her total bill for treatment so far is £7095.00,  and will only grow, the policy is now meet at £4,000 so the remainder of her surgery and hospital stay and additional treatment, medications have to be covered by me and mum.

I’m embarrassed as I’ve never been in the situation where I’ve not been able to provide all that I possibly can for my little girls and have to now ask for the help from kind caring people to provided all the best resources available to aid Lily get back to where she once was, a beautiful loving young and loyal dog, I have never ask for anything but if any of you could help by donating anything to help cover the excess to get lily back into her feet it would be greatly appreciated.. 

Any money donated will contribute to on going costs of medication, therapy and treatments. 

thank you all for reading this.
