Duke is a 8 year old Boston Terrier in New Braunfels, TX, who needs $2,000 for CSF Collection/Fluid Analysis with Cytology & MRI.

Duke came in our lives when he was 7 weeks old. He's an only dog and he loves sunbathing, belly rubs, walks and his trips to the puppy park. Duke has had an extensive background with mastoid tumors having 3 of them removed at only 4 yrs of age. Duke currently doesn't have a partial section of his mandible but he has managed to defeat all odds and has thrived at being the best good boy ever.

After one of our walks a few days ago, I noticed that Duke had developed noticeable left sided paralysis to his face. Along with the paralysis he has also developed eye irritation and difficulty with swallowing. especially since his previous surgery when he was 4 yrs old. CountyLine Vet has now sent us to MissionVet Emergency& Specialty to consult a neurologist to rule out a brain tumor.

Duke is an avid lover of the outdoors. He loves to chase lizards. He loves his puppy door! He's the biggest snuggler ever known to the human race and he loves when we have visitors at home. Duke knows all basic commands but chooses to not obey them. He loves carrots in bone broth and he will give you the saddest puppy eyes if you ever forget to give him his morning greenie. He's my HEART!

Duke has now been to the neurologist and the cost of both his vet and the specialist have already been expensive. They are recommending both a spinal tab and an MRI with radiographs and labs. The estimate for the testing alone is under 6k and completely out of my budget.
