Abby is a 2-month-old Great Pyrenese/ Poodle in Virginia Beach, VA, who needs $2,000 for MRI and Spinal Tap.

I got Abby from a "reputable breeder" on October 14, 2023. As soon as I saw her itty bitty face, I knew she was the one. There was this aura around her that told me she was meant for our family. We are a family of 4 with two young kids (4, 6) and one other dog with whom Abby loves (he's perfectly healthy!). Her second day home she had her first seizure and has had 12 others since.

Abby is the biggest princess in the world and because of her current condition she cannot be left alone. There's always an adult around her to make sure she's safe and to administer her rescue medicine if any seizures occur. She sleeps in bed with us and goes everywhere we do. My son, he's 4, loves Abby so much. He wants nothing to do with our other dog, but Abby? He's all over this girl with love

Because we have only had Abby for two weeks, there's still so much to learn about her! And she's still so young that she's growing into her personality. I can say for sure that she loves to play! Sometimes I even call her Vanilla Spice because she can get spicy and loud while romping around. And don't ever leave a full water bowl in sight! She will splash and play in it all day long!

Abby has been experiencing seizures very frequently and needs to have an MRI and Spinal Tap done to see if there are any underlying issues or if she has juvenile epilepsy. We've done all of the cheaper bloodwork and testing and they've all come back normal for her age. She's barely responding to the anti-seizure medication and is being seen at SouthEastern Veterinary Neurolugy by Dr. DiVita.

We are a one-income family with two small children as well. Doing these costly procedures is extremely out of our budget. Abby is only a baby and deserves a real shot at life. The MRI is between $4300-$5700 and the Spinal Tap is $1000-$1200.
