My client, hairdresser, neighbor and good friend Lindsay Brabank needs help getting a life saving surgery for her sweet senior dog Bernie who I've had the pleasure of walking and sitting for the past 3 years. Bernie has been diagnosed with IVDD and needs an MRI neurology consultation and and surgery to prevent paralyzation and keep him pain-free while getting him out of the kennel confinement that's he's currently under. He is in great health otherwise and has several more great years of life and love to give to us if he can get the surgery, which has a 90% success rate and should solve all of his back pain and mobility issues. He is the sweetest dog, he loves absolutely everyone he meets, and has been Lindsay's rock and best friend for over a decade as well as the best big brother to his tiny chihuahua companion Franklin. I want Lindsay to have as many years as he has left on this earth with him and for Bernie to live a long, fulfilling pain-free life -- and the dog pack misses walking with him while he's been on mandatory kennel rest! Bernie's pet insurance denied coverage for this surgery based on the fact that Lindsay has already spent thousands of dollars on less expensive, less invasive procedures in an attempt to cure him including acupuncture, lazer and physical therapies so this is considered a preexisting condition despute never having been previously diagnosed with IVDD. This surgery is our only option left and costs at least $10,000 so we are asking our friends, neighbors and dog-loving community for help! Anything you can donate and sharing on social media platforms will help us get to our goal. Thank you so much for reading, sharing, and donating if you can! Lindsay, Bernie, and Franklin are more than deserving of the help!!! https://www.gofundme.com/f/gew2n2-bernie-needs-surgery?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #dogsofig #smalldogsofinstagram #smalldogsofinsta #smalldogsofig #smalldogsunday #smalldogs #seniordogsofinstagram #seniordogs #dogwalker #dogwalking #petsitter #petsitting #ivdd #ivddsurvivor #medicalcare #surgery #pleasehelp #donate #share #gofundme (at Phinney Ridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci8gH-MvlLi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
