Loving Jr thru his last days
Donation protected
First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read our story, and see if Jr is someone you’d like to assist.
Jr the Jack Russell Terror was loving life! Running around like a mad man, even at the ripe old age of 17. Then, he got his teeth cleaned at a local vet in January 2017, and that all came to a screeching halt.
‘He had no control over his hind end for weeks, and all the while they said this was normal. Meanwhile, he was living in constant agony, and I was beside myself, trying to help him heal and cope.
He’s seen multiple doctors, has had chiropractic, Bemer, and laser treatments, and is on painkillers and muscle relaxants.
Sadly, now he’s too frail for many treatments, and I no longer have a job due to a disability that started December 2016. I can no longer afford his care (actually, I haven’t really been able to for quite some time and owe some friends and family, plus credit cards), and am hoping the GoFundMe community will see fit to help him out.
While he’s in hospice, his costs are about $150-$200/month for medications and medical supplies, and saying the final goodbye plus a private cremation will be almost $600. This doesn’t include food, treats, or time for others to provide the care I cannot, such as the Bemer which makes him feel much better. But it’s thousands of dollars to buy one, or $80 each treatment. It would be wonderful if y’all would be able to help me get him in there each week! Or better yet, buy one so he can enjoy being pain-free daily.
Unfortunately, most of my disability income is eaten up by housing costs, so $200/month or more has sent me into unsustainable debt. Work let me go after letting them know I needed spinal surgery to get better, and thankfully I had an old privately funded disability policy from years ago, but it’s based on my salary in 1989, not 2018.
Jr was on the path to living happily past 20, and his life got cut short by a vet who shouldn’t be practicing. Please help me help Jr enjoy the last of his days in love and peace, with as little pain as possible. He still loves life and wants to be here, and I firmly believe it’s my job as his human to help him continue living and loving as long as he chooses to be here.
