Mishka is my 2-year-old mini poodle with the biggest heart and the happiest energy. Two days ago, he suddenly lost all use of his back legs. Taking him to the vet in a rush, x-rays revealed spinal disc wear and tear. He no longer walks and no longer has complete bladder control, and he's in visible pain. The vet suspects Mishka has Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), a serious spinal condition that must be treated as soon as possible. He now requires a spinal MRI and surgical stabilization to decompress his spinal cord so that he can regain the ability to walk again. The surgery is much more than I can afford for myself, but I will not give up on him. Mishka is a member of our family, and I am asking for assistance to provide him with the surgery that will heal and allow him to live pain-free. Every contribution brings us closer to being able to offer that to him. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
