Maui's MRI and Spinal Surgery

Spende geschützt
Maui, my 7-year old pug, got injured within the last year. We don't know exactly when or how, but the result is her losing mobility in her back legs. My local vet initially thought it could be some sort of Pug Dog Encephalitis, but after taking her to the Seattle Veterinary Specialists downtown, they believe it to be a result of a physical injury to her spine. Somehow the signal from her brain is getting weaker when trying to reach her legs.

They recommend an MRI versus an X-ray, due to the soft tissue most likely being affected. And then depending on how that looks, they said surgery will most likely be needed.

I recently submitted it to insurance, but they aren't covering it due to "probably being a pre-existing" condition.

On a more positive note, here's Maui with my little sister, Lily.


Maui's mobility has taken a bit of a turn for the worst as of the last couple weeks. She is taking CDB and a prescribed anti-inflammatory to help with pain, but I can noticeably tell a difference in her mobility and reduced will to go on nice long walks.

The sooner I can get her an MRI and further treatment, the better. With her decline, and if treatment doesn't happen, I fear we may need to hop into a wheelchair within a couple months. The neurological specialists at Seattle Veterinary Specialists said if we act quickly, she will regain most of her mobility.

I would love for her regain her mobility for the last few years we have together. Any help is appreciated, along with any recommendations.

Thank you,

Jordan & Maui
