Remy's Medical Treatment
Donation protected
Hi friends, family, and kind strangers,
We are raising money for our three year-old rescue dog, Remy, who today was diagnosed with potential spinal disk herniation. This could lead to serious problems, including paralysis, if left untreated. Even with insurance, the cost of her medical exams and treatment surpasses what we can afford on our own.
In these unprecedentedly difficult times, we hesitate to ask for financial help. We know, however, that we have a good support system that will provide emotional support if donating is not possible. She will be on strict crate rest for a month, so it will be a difficult adjustment.
We will use the funds for:
- specialist doctor visits (insurance does not cover): $250/visit
- exams including X-rays, MRI, spinal tap, and blood work:- ~$4,500 (insurance hopefully covers 80%)
- medicine: ~$200 (insurance hopefully covers 80%)
- treatment & comfort items:
- including a gated pen for restricting her movement in the house (she isn't allowed to move, we have to pick her up)
- soft toys to keep her distracted in the pen
- a new harness to protect her neck from further injury
- a ramp so she doesn't have to jump up/down stairs
Remy means the world to me, to us. She is my emotional support and I don't know what I would do without her calming presence and squishy face. Truly any donation amount matters and will make a difference in getting her healed!
Love,
Olivia and Kristyn
