Help Joker Walk Again
Donation protected
Last Thursday Joker woke up at 445 am suffering from a stroke. It left myself and my family at home in array of emotions. At first we rushed him to the ER and was uncertain if he would make it and I would make a terrible decision. With the support of my girlfriend and roommates we decided to spend the weekend with joker and try to nurse him back to health before making any sudden decisions. The past 6 days he was on a raw diet fed through a turkey baster and received constant love and assistance while on bed rest. Yesterday Joker visited Dr. Eagleson at Blue Pearl Vet in Langhorne. After further evaluation Dr. Eagleson stated we can get Joker back to a healthy quality of life but it will take alot of work and financial support. He's been diagnosed with an extreme spinal column displacement that hinders him from using his front legs. He simply collapses after walking more than two steps and can't go out for walks. In order to help him, first we need to perform radiology and MRI scans of his brain and spine. From there we'll finally know how we can help Joker walk again either by surgery or other options. With COVID and just returning back to work, I'm unable to fully support joker in this time of need. Which has lead me to this program and hope it can provide the medical care he needs. Whatever you can contribute is greatly appreciated. Thank you for all your support.
