Help save Bardot the Frenchie

Help Bardot the Frenchie get the specialist care she needs.

Katikati, Bay Of Plenty

My gorgeous 3 year old French Bulldog, Bardot has a devastating spinal deformity that is pinching her digestive nerve. She is very unwell and needs an MRI and possible surgery if the MRI shows they can do anything. She is my baby as most of you will know. We have spent thousands already trying to get her pain under control and find out what is wrong. On Friday I thought my only option was euthanasia but with your help I believe we can do something for her that will give her a better chance at being assessed by the ARC specialist team in Auckland. I brought her home from the vets on Friday and she has had a very drugged weekend but is comfortable, settled and relatively happy until I can get her further help. She is an amazing wee girl that does not deserve this. I am absolutely devastated, gutted, cut up and this is my one opportunity to be able to help her. Please, those that know me and Bardot will know the pure joy and love she has brought to many children in the classroom daily and love she has shared with friends. She has her favourite people and they have all visited this weekend. No one want a to say goodbye! Let’s give her that chance. Any little bit will help. Thank you, thank you. I will keep you updated. Love Bardot, Kathryn and Melanie

Bardot update  13 February 2025

Thank you ALL for your support. Bardot is home again after her assessment and testing at ARC in Auckland. She has a herniated disc in her neck which they initially want to treat with 4 weeks strict crate rest then back to ARC and if no improvement then surgery will be required. Fingers crossed she heals and recovers. Yet again thank you for your support, the money raised to date covers a little of what we have spent, it is hugely appreciated. Love Kathryn, Melanie and Bardot
