Barneys spinal surgery

Hi I'm Becky and I'm trying to raise some money for my curly little cockapoo, Barney.

Barney is 7 years old (8 in January) and just a little ball of bouncy energy. He loves rolling in muddy puddles, slices of ham and his best friend teddy bear Arthur.

Unfortunately Barney has recently been diagnosed with herniated discs in his spine.

I do have insurance for him but unfortunately only to a limit of £4000 and we've already used half of that on vet visits and a CT scan. So I have around £2000 left to put towards his surgery and recovery.

The surgery itself is going to cost up to £5000, with aftercare, medication and physio adding even more to the total and this is a lot for me to handle as a single dog parent.

This really is his only option. The alternative was he spends the rest of his life medicated and living in a crate 24/7 and this is no way to live for such an energetic boy, especially because the vet has advised I could wake up one morning to find he's completely lost the use of his legs and would be incontinent. This would absolutely break me and I don't want him to have to go through that.

Considering Barney's age and that he is otherwise in great health, he could continue to live a super happy life with this surgery. Any help with this would be appreciated more than words can express.

Please help me to help my baby.
