Henry’s vet journey

UPDATE:

We just got the X-rays back from our vet and they have declared his situation an emergency. He was carried out on a stretcher and rushed to the animal hospital. They said there is gas in his airways and he is experiencing a neurological issue. We are waiting anxiously at the hospital now, praying for good news.

Hi everyone,

This is my 4-year-old Aussiedoodle, Henry! This past weekend we went to the dog beach to get some energy out and I suddenly noticed a slight limp in his back right leg. I didn’t think much of it and honestly thought it was a small cut his paw pad.

Fast forward to today - an ER visit, 4 regular vet primary visits, a chiropractor visit, respiratory infection, and some much-needed medication, I still don't have a very clear answer as to why he has lost most functionality in both back legs. After a lot of help from friends, family, and calling multiple vets, the next step is a Neurological consult - MRI and CT scans.

I have tried to maintain a positive attitude throughout this entire journey but it has been exhausting to see Henry in such pain. I’m doing the best I can but the vet bills have been overwhelming, and with the possibility of surgery coming up I’m not sure what to do. I have spent over $1000 so far and at this point, I would truly appreciate any help that I could get. All I want is to have my fur baby healthy and happy.

All my love,

Madison and Henry
