Help Our Dog Quill Walk Again

$165 of $10,000 goal
Given by 4 generous donors in around 3 months

Our dog Quill went from walking to paralysed in days. He’s had surgery, please help us with his recovery costs.

Pokeno, Auckland

Our beloved dog Quill needs your help.

Just a few days ago, Quill was happily trotting around the house, his usual cheerful, playful self. But everything changed in an instant. On Friday, he started showing signs of discomfort. By Sunday evening, he was completely paralysed. The diagnosis: a slipped disc pressing on his spinal cord.

We rushed him to emergency care and on Monday he underwent urgent spinal surgery. Thanks to the incredible veterinary team, the operation went well, but Quill now faces a long and uncertain road to recovery. He’s already showing his fighting spirit, but he’ll need ongoing physio, medication, and follow-up care to give him the best shot at walking again.

The costs of surgery and rehab have quickly added up, If you’re in a position to help, even just a little, we would be incredibly grateful. Every dollar goes directly to Quill’s recovery and care.

Quill is more than a pet. He’s our family, our comfort, and our joy. We just want to give him the best chance to get back on his feet.

Thank you so much for reading, sharing, and supporting our little guy 💛

Walking unaided  23 May 2025

Quill took his first strps without support today. He’s getting stronger and braver each day.

Walks are very short, but he enjoys them and is eager to play.

Currently he’s having difficulty urinating. Which isn’t uncommon after an injury like this.

Thanks to those who have contributed. We appreciate your love and support.
