Bugg is a 4-year-old French Bulldog in Little Rock, AR, who needs $1,500 for Hemilaminectomy.

Bugg came into our lives a little more than a year ago as a rescue.

A few days ago we noticed him becoming lethargic and weaker in his hind legs. We immediately took him to the vet and he was started on meds.

Despite immediate intervention, it progressed quickly. This morning 12/31/22 we woke up to him being paralyzed in his back legs.

This money will pay for his surgery to fix his legs

Bugg is the light of our lives.

Before he came to us he was neglected and lived most of his life in a kennel. He came to us afraid of the world.

He blossomed with love. He became my best friend. He accompanies me to work daily at the vet clinic where I work, and is the sassiest, smartest, kindest, bravest, most wonderful dog to ever walk this earth.

He brings joy to those around him.

Bugg’s favorite thing in the world is to “go to work”. I work at a veterinary clinic and he is one of the clinic dogs that gets to come to the office.

He is always bringing smiles to those around him. He consistently is on his best behavior and is ready to be my best friend and loyal companion. Just having him in my office sleeping next to my feet is the best feeling …

Bugg was diagnosed with IVDD about a year ago. (Intervertebral cervical disc disease) which is a degenerative disorder of the spine.

His case was being medically managed before this sudden onset of paralysis.

This surgery will aim to decrease the pressure on the spinal cord and help him regained full mobility of his legs.

Our dogs are our children. We have suffered through years of infertility and a stillbirth … our dogs are the only living children we have… I can’t imagine losing him this way… the surgery is the most successful when done right away and this will get him immediate care.
