Thors medical.

If you made it this far, you cared enough to know what’s going on. My dog Thor and I were playing his favorite game in the front yard on dec 17th. I kick a ball in a random direction and he puts his absolute all into getting this ball. While he was running full speed, to my understanding the gel between his vertebrae got pinched his back legs completely gave out, he lifted his front legs to try and avoid hitting a railroad tie bordering our driveway and hit the tops of his back legs/hips causing him to flip multiple times about 10 yards. I’ve never heard him cry this bad he couldn’t move his back legs at all. He lost control of his bowels, I’m haunted by the repeat of this in my head over and over again. I rushed him to the nearest emergency vet. Basically gave us a vague window of recovery and what it should look like. By today we were hoping to see some movement in his back legs and tail. If not he needs to see the emergency neurologist and most likely have an operation on his spine. After getting off the phone with the neurologist today, we were told just for the appointment and basically them telling us if he needs a procedure or not will be around $5000. Then if he needs the operation it’ll be another $5000 to $8000. I want to be fully transparent and for the wellbeing of Thor I’m willing to swallow my pride. I’ve been struggling my whole life with mental illness. It has consumed me, I’ve done my best to try and hide it. I’ve completely hid away and became a hermit. I’ve been doing my best. Weekly therapy visits monthly psychiatric visits. Have been through countless medications. If you know me and look back at how I was my whole life it’s a little more evident when you put pieces of the puzzle together. My awareness and understanding of most things has always been skewed any thing emotional especially. This in return made me a very judgemental negative person. Not trying to make this about me but with that being said I have been unable to be financially free. Thor is my reason, he gives me purpose, he fills me with so much love. I have been oblivious to this until recently. Then this whole incident flipped our world upside down. I spend every minute with Thor. I share absolutely everything with this best friend. I take him in every where I go. I would give him the last bite, I would give him my clothes if he was cold. He is the most active dog anyone has every met. If there is any laying around time or pause in movement he cries and wants to keep going. I would do anything to see my baby’s tail wag again. This kills me. I have spent every second with him on the floor since this incident. I’m overwhelmed with emotions seeing how much support we have received so far since my original Facebook post. Any little bit any little encouragement all of it matters and means so much to us. I can honestly say one of the first times I’ve truly felt purpose has been in this past month. I would love to thank all of you and have hope we’re going to get through this. I’m not superstitious or really have beliefs but I do think you attract what you put out there and I know your support will come back to you in many ways. I want everyone to know that every single penny is going to Thor no matter the outcome. If you have any questions or anything just message me. My response time will probably be little as I am giving him everything I can in this moment.
