Rory’s upcoming procedure
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Abby and the beautiful pup in the picture is Rory. About a month ago I came home to her shying away from me and not wanting to go up stairs or jump on the furniture. If she tried she would scream and hold up her left rear leg. I took her to the vet and we suspect that it is a herniated disc in her back. The only way to diagnose a herniated disc is with an MRI. So she was started on some meds in hopes that it could heal on its own. She still isn’t at a point where she can go up stairs, she screams if her legs extend too far back. In September we are headed to a veterinary hospital in Detroit to get an MRI with surgery to follow. We were told that the probability of her needing surgery was very high. After the surgery she will be hospitalized for 3-5 days.
It hurts me seeing her in so much pain and not being able to help. The procedures are not going to be cheap by any means, but I am going to do anything and everything I can to make sure she isn’t in pain. If she doesn’t get the help she needs she will never be able to run or do the things that she loves most (hiking, swimming, etc.). We appreciate any support.
