This is the most severe case we have taken on since Mandy and Phil last year, and we are hoping for another miracle for her.

She was seen dragging around her legs for about 2 weeks before anyone stepped in. A local woman finally took her in to a rural vet with limited equipment and no specialty experience.

We were brought in to consult and have now taken full custody and responsibility for her. After x-raying her legs and seeing nothing obvious, we decided to move up to her spine. We were able to get in quickly with a spinal/neurology center. After multiple rounds of x-rays with contrast, her spine showed no traumatic injury whatsoever. A spinal tap determined she has an extremely rare bacterial infection in her spine.

We are now racing against the clock–either antibiotics will save her, or the infection will move higher up her body and she will not survive past the next few weeks.

We are determined to at least give her a chance. Her bill has already reached $1,000 USD and we are just getting started.

In addition to the infection in her spine, she is covered in infected ulcers from dragging herself around in the dirt for weeks.

If she survives, she has a long road ahead and may be permanently disabled. But everyone who meets her agrees – she is a fighter, and she wants to live.

Will you help us give her a chance?
