Lucy is a 6-year-old German shepherd in Glendale, AZ, who needs $1,980 for Aspergillus Discospondylitis.

Lucy came home with me when she was 8 weeks old. She is a black and tan German Shepherd with the best ears! Lucy has hip dysplasia and arthritis in her back legs, but it is managed with supplements and doesn't affect her much. She is currently my only dog. She loves fetch and taking naps in the sun.

Lucy was the only dog for the first 4 years of her life. Two years ago, I started hospice fostering and Lucy has been great with all 3 of our fosters. We also have a hedgehog who she tolerates. Lol Lucy is very sweet and loving, bus has the big GSD bark and will let us know if anyone is too close! Once you walk in and she gets a good sniff, she will bring you a toy and is putty in your hands.

I work full time as a nanny and have already spent thousands on diagnostics and meds over the last 4 months. I just can't afford the cost of these injections.

Lucy was having trouble walking and was losing weight and her spine got really sensitive a few months ago. She was diagnosed with Aspergillus Discospondylitis and we started a treatment of Fluconazole, Terbinafine, Gabapentin and Clavamox. She improved a bit but her spine was becoming sensitive again & she lost more. She now needs 6-8 injections of Amphotericin B.

Lucy has always had the most expressive eyes and the best ears. She can't hear anymore, but when she could, she had the best head tilts! She is a very gentle eater and will take such a nice bite off a fork or spoon. She loves kids and sometimes listens better to them than she does to me. She is just the biggest sweetheart.
