Medical Evaluation for Spot

Donation protected
Spot needs your help. He's a 12 year old Rat Terrier with a lot of life left to live. Seven years ago he had an injury to his head and soon after his seizures started. Spot's doctor has said that it's a miracle that he's even survived that amount of powerful and frequent grand mal seizures. This shows what a fighter Spot is, but the effort is really taking it's toll on Spot and that's why he needs your help.

Anyone who knows Spot's dad Terry, knows that Spot and his brother Studz mean everything to him. Terry has had his own hard life, he's struggled and lived out of his truck, and every step of the way he's put the well being of his boys ahead of his own. That's not an exaggeration, Terry would do anything for these dogs. They provide comfort and companionship that is a rare thing to come by.

That's where we can help. Treatment for Spot has been difficult. Because it's a neurological problem the exact issue is difficult to diagnose. That means that the doctor can only treat the symptoms by prescribing more and more medication. After years and years of increasing medication and Spot feeling more "doped up" every day. The doctor suggested it's time for Spot to get a specialized brain scan at a treatment center in Columbia, MO.

Spot has been a fighter through this whole ordeal, but it's getting visibly harder every day. Getting this scan and having a diagnosis will be a major breakthrough for Spot's care. It also will provide much needed peace of mind to Terry who's suffered his own toll trying to care for his beloved Spot. The clock is ticking on getting Spot this evaluation. Any amount that you can spare would mean a world of difference for this family of 3. Thank you for reading and please spread the word!
