My boy needs surgery on his spine so he can walk, his spinal cord is being compressed and he is losing his ability to use his legs

Auckland

This is my boy Max, I have had him since he was 7 weeks old, he's my world. Max is a Staffy / Lab cross and my little side kick. He has been having spinal issues for about a year now and after laser therapy, hydro therapy and now stronger medication he will require spinal surgery to help him continue to walk. His spinal cord is being compressed and it means he's losing connection to his legs, resulting in him falling over in his hind legs, losing balance and struggling to get up. It breaks my heart to see him like this and he needs this surgery. I work 2 jobs to pay for his medical bills but still need assistance to pay for this surgery which will cost $9,000 - $10,000. Anything anyone could give to help would mean the world to me and give my boy a second chance.

Surgery all done ❤  11 June 2021

Max has come home from a successful surgery. The surgeon was really pleased with it. His recovery will take a few weeks of assisted walking and physio, but he's on the road to recovery now and thanks to all of you for your support, I can't thank you enough ❤🙏❤
