Coach is a 2 year old Australian Cattle Dog in Lowell, MI, who needs $7,000 for MRI, CT Scan, and X-rays.

Coach was an unexpected and “not sure I’m ready for this again” surprises I lost my last dog I rescued quickly. He was with me for 10 years and diagnosed with lymphoma. I went 2 years without a dog and was depressed. A friend said hey I have a pup left from a litter. When I looked in and she was just laying there waiting like “where ya been?” I knew it was time to open my heart again.

Unfortunately this fun loving fur missle/part fish/part gazelle started having “atypical” symptoms in late Dec/jan where she began shaking her head like she had something in her ear and then her ear dropped on the right. Her first mri came back clean and they said epilepsy but the meds have given her severe anxiety and a second opinion thinks not epilepsy but wants a second mri of her whole spine.

The neurologist at Blue Pearl have been so amazing! Coach is always at my side and travels the country with me going from horse show to show. When we’re not working we fly to Florida to visit my sister and we go boating, paddle boarding and scalloping. Before these “episodes” Coach was a road warrior. She still is the greeter of everywhere we go but the pain and anxiety is slowly getting to her

I’ve already put 7k into diagnostics and 5 vets are puzzled and can’t agree. I’m tapped but have no answers and my dog shouldn’t suffer for my financial situation. I just want her to be comfortable and back to herself creating controlled chaos everywhere she goes.
