Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
We have seen it more times than we can count and it never gets any easier...a family reaches out for help with a beloved doxie companion with IVDD. We explain the options - crate rest/conservative treatment, that IVDD is not a death sentence and a doxie can live a long, happy, healthy life on wheels, or scooting around.
It is not our place to judge who can and cannot afford surgery, and it is not our place to judge who can and cannot handle life with a paralyzed dachshund on the back end of IVDD with a home, job, children, and life responsbilities.
It is however, our mission to offer options and be there as a safety net for a dog and/or their family if they choose that they are not up for 8 weeks of 24x7 crate rest and accpeting what may or may not come on the other side. There is no shame in that choice as what is the best choice for one family, may or may not be the best choice for another family or even more importantly for the dog.
Shelby Lynn's family faced that same decision this week after they reached out for help for her after going down last week. We explained options and what was required of each, and Shelby's family chose that they were not equipped to care of her and thus surrendered her to DRSF and to Dr. Carnes and the team at Specialists in Companion Animal Neurology in Naples.
Dr. Carnes examined Shelby and determined that she still had deep pain and would be a good candidate for surgery and Shelby Lynn now becomes our 59th IVDD Surgery since 2008 and as we have done every time, we now turn to you, our DRSF family to ask your support so that our war-chest is ready for number 60.
As always, every dollar counts toward the funding finish line and we can only continue to welcome each and every IVDD dog who finds their way to our door thanks to your support. Even if you are not able to donate, a comment alone supports Shelby Lynn as the more people who comment on our posts the more people see them <3
