Poppy May is a 2-year-old Mini Australian Shepard in Bend, OR, who needs $2,000 for Myelogram Series.

I adopted Poppy May near the coast in Oregon. I brought her home on the anniversary of the death of my big brother. Thus her name, Poppy for remembrance of the dead and May the month my brother was born. The day I brought her home was a blue bird morning and drove passed where my brother's ashes lay. I have been with her 24/7 since then. She gets me out of bed and engaged in live.

Poppy May has 2 senior cats she lives with, her mom (me) and my husband. I am on disability so she is my constant companion. She knows all our family members by name when we speak of them. We have a group of friends, we call family that LOVE Poppy May. She is loving, emotionally intuitive and the sweetest little girl.

Poppy May is a miniature Red Merle Australian Shepard. Poppy May looks up at anyone with her beautiful blue eyes.. they still take my breathe away. She has learned to fake a sneeze to get treats. She knows what it means to snuggle and give a hug. Actually, smarter than most of us.

Poppy presents with crying and whimpering , limping and refusing play and walks. We took her to her primary vet who then referred us to an internist & neurologist. We are keeping her calm, comfortable and medicated with Carprovet & Gabepentin. Needs CT scan, spinal fluid. Possible lesion, meningitis or ruptured disc. We have a f/u in 4/3/24

I have a fixed income due to disability . I too have spine disease. I have had 7 spine surgeries and know how awful spine injuries are. Knowing her pain just kills me. It's as if she's trying to take my pain away.
