Chewy is a 4-year-old Boykin Spaniel in Crystal River, FL, who needs $3,695 for Surgery for correcting herniated disk and recovery support treatments..

Chewy is a 4 1/2 year old Boykin Spaniel, with deep brown eyes and is very smart, funny, and cares for us as much as we care for her. She has been a joy to love and spend time with. She is a huge part of our families lives and goes with us on many adventures. She's traveled with us across the country, and goes with us on almost every trip.

Chewy loves playing with her toys and chasing squirrels and lizards. She sleeps with us in bed every night. She protects us and loves to be around us and our other pets. She has been through obedience training with us, and loves to learn new tricks. She gets so excited to see our friends and family when they come to visit. Chewy has been a big help since moms been working from home from Covid.

We were caught off guard with this situation and did not imagine it could happen to our relatively young pup. With the current pandemic our income is not the same as it once was. We can't wait to help Chewy through this but know a long road is ahead for her recovery.

Our beautiful (Boykin Spaniel) Chewy 4 1/2 years old had a herniated disk and just underwent emergency surgery. 
She was a very happy playful dog chasing squirrels one day then deteriorated very quickly the next, first not playing, then not able to use her back legs. 
Last night we had to rush her to Gainesville to have an MRI and emergency surgery at the UF Small Animal Hospital. Healthy before.

Chewy is special in many ways, but her ability to understand commands is impressive. She also likes to share her own demands, and often tells us when its time to go to bed. Its funny when she starts to get tired in the evening she will sit at the bottom of the steps wine for us to look and point her head upstairs to bed. This is her saying its bedtime. She lets us know its dinner time as well.
