My name is Jennifer Hogan and I have 5 1/2 year old pure breed registered dachshund named Pepper Marie Hogan. He has been diagnosed with IVDD through my primary Vetenarian Banfield and I have been referred to Sugarland Emergency Vetenarian to have a neurologist to do an MRI/CT/Surgery but I dont have the $1000 for initial Emergency visits and the additional $9000 for MRI/Surgery.
He has lost full mobility of his hind legs as well as bladder, but still has sensations in his hind when pinched and feeling in his feet so with proper treatment and surgery he can walk again, but I am at a loss because I dont have the funds to afford it right now. Ive considered doing a gofund me but wanted to reach out to you first. Ive read that time is of the essence and trying to raise money will take some time. I have done everything in my house to try and prevent the inevitable but unfortunately this has happened and im devastated that I cant help him. If your organization could help me I would be of great gratitude. Ive been crying for 2 days cause ive tried to apply for loans but with 300-600% Apr are not affordable, financial assistance thru care credit and speakeasy and even reached out to family members for help with no luck
