Finn is a 4 year old Dachshund in Grass valley, CA, who needs $2,000 for IVDD Surgery.

Finney came into our lives when he was only 5 weeks old. We spent his first 3 weeks at home huddled up during Covid eating goats milk and teaching him how to be a little brother and how to play. The bond we share is so special after having kids young he brings such meaning to my life as they’ve all grown up, he stays the same. That is until he was diagnosed with ivdd. The progression has been fast

We’ve been instructed to crate him so when I’m home he’s in a bassinet and when we’re gone he is in a 2x4 kennel. His vet is Motherlode vet clinic in grass valley ca. he has stage 2 ivdd looking like maybe stage 3 (we won’t know until he sees a neurologist) after this weeks progression. It’s up to the vet if he needs surgery. But I can’t afford the the full cost of the mri or the surgery.

Finn is special because he’s special. We love him for his crooked nose and funky ear and for the way he waddles and demands love and attention from mama when ever I’m home. His best friend is Ruger, his 8 year old brother. He loves squeaky squirrels and spends his time trying to save them from his brother by burying them under blankets between couch cushions and even behind doors. We love our baby

We live in California and find ourselves house poor. Bills are already tight if not late and unfortunately I was too ignorant to have signed up for pet insurance. Regretting this multiple times a day lately.
