Pua's IVDD vs Brachial Plexus Nerve Sheath Tumor
Donation protected
Pua is a 7yo pitbull who started his journey very small. At just 3mo he came into my ER Vet clinic in the middle of the night, a generous good Samaritan found Pua, tiny and cold in a brewery parking lot. He was so tiny, thin, covered in ticks and infected bite wounds surrounding his neck, we weren't sure if he would make it
These infected wounds went so deep into his body that they calcified around the spine. We worked tiredlessly to fix him. He stayed a week in the hospital and then came home with me as a foster. We grew a very strong bond while I nursed his wounds. He instantly trusted me and has always trusted me with his full heart.
He grew very attached to his siblings and soon it was obvious that he needed to stay with us. Pua has a lot of anxiety and trust issues, being abandoned so young. He is inseparable from his sister, and she makes him a braver dog. Although he doesn't enjoy being about most people, he is the most pure of heart. He loves to lay outside and watch the bugs, lady bugs and bees being his favorite.
Now that Pua has become a Senior it seems this old injury is acting up. Pua needs an MRI to confirm if he has a compressed disc and the next step would be surgery to alleviate the pain.
Pua is a healthy dog, with many more years left to frolic with his bug friends, if we can only get enough money.
Matt and myself are both working second jobs, we have already taken our every line of credit and just need a little more help.
We don't have children, we have our dogs. Pua is the youngest and has the biggest heart. He knows his namesake, and enjoys watching Moana with his two best friends Pua and HeiHei.
Asking all Swifties, veterinary friends, and animal lovers alike to give just a little today so we can help my baby boy feel better.
