Save Jim's Mobility with Your Help

Hi, this is Jim. Jimotheus Mimotheus formally. Also known as Jum Num, Jeem, and Jimenem. He is a Beagle/Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix who has developed IVDD. He's had a few flares that went away with rest and anti-inflammatory medicine. This time is different—he has lost the use of his back legs. The vet is STRONGLY pushing surgery, scaring us to death with talk of a paralyzed bladder, diaphragm, or worse. Unfortunately for us, the surgery can only be done in one place and will cost $7,000-$8,000 as long as there are no complications. This covers his imaging, surgery, and hospitalization after. He's currently on strict crate rest—which he is not at all fond of—until we can get the surgery done. Please help us fix this sweet little demon dog!

Everything will go to UT Veterinary Hospital to pay for his imaging, surgery, and hospitalization.
