can’t thank Valley Central Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center enough, with out them rambo would of been dead by saturday…literally, if i didn’t get a second opinion from them, i was gonna end his suffering! if they didn’t give me tips…he would of went on his own by saturday, if they didn’t recheck him sunday than treat him making miracles happen…he would be dead any day now, i dont know how much time ill have with him, but i cant thank yall enough, especially christine and dr Kruger!!! (all yall in back who helped out, didnt get every name, ty) kruger came in on day off just to show me some therapy moves, that i can do at home and helped carry him to car, her heart was totally invested in helping rambo and doing what’s best for him! priceless care and recommend you all to use them for emergency! they been working with him so much he’s showing such progress with his back and legs also, it’s really simply blowing my mind!
ty all who donated also, made this a lot easier, i posted pics of the bills, with more to come, i will definitly try to thank you all, if anyone else wants to help out, it would be much appreciated… here’s the link … https://gofund.me/40daa141
he’s even p**ping outside while help walking! took 4 healthy p**ps this morning, keep working with him and decent chance we can get his bladder control back, it’s a miracle!!!
here’s some info
july 26th- rambo went in because of a slight limp, thought it was his lymes, it was but also hip and back issue.
july 29th- out of nowhere, he was not able to use his back legs
come august 6th, he was unable to p**p and was not eating as much as usual
august 7th thursday in the morning he couldn’t keep nothing down! after more testing, his liver numbers was terrible, n was told it looks like he’s giving up, no fight, but i was not ready to let him go, i was recommended that if he’s not better by saturday, i would have to make a tough decision
august 8th friday morning- he wouldn’t respond to me at all, even when crying begging him not to give up, wouldnt lift head up, wasnt moving, just peeing himself so much that i couldn’t clean it fast enough
august 8th friday at night, i went to valley central emergency room for second opinion, he looked like he had no fight at all and his numbers was extremely bad, he’s paralyzed, sick, and had no fight! nothing would help him at this point, they could of lied to me to make money and say he would recover, but was honest, it would be expensive for me for a very slim chance it helps, he just had no fight left and his liver would need a miracle to get back on track, i was driving home preparing to put him out his misery, they sent me a beautiful email letter, on how to make his last days as best as possible, not to let him go saturday but let him have some good days till the bad days take over-if not for that i was gonna let go so he didn’t suffer, they gave me one tip that changed everything, if not for that, he would be died on his own! it helped make him feel a little better, and that’s all he needed to fight….
saturday morning still would not eat, i made the call i dreaded to put him down and set it up for that night, but couldn’t go through with it , i said let me see if he eats tonight and send him off with a good meal n ill call after, he ate his mcdonald’s good bye meal so well, i said let me see if we can have one more day….i was struggling bad to let him go, mom and fiancé was annoying me to the point i started to second guess it, thank they did…
sunday morning he ate, was barking, playing with bones, so i brought him back to valley central, his liver numbers was still terrible, would be a long shot, but because he’s fighting, he would have a shot with treatment….
monday night- they re tested his blood, and it was a literal miracle, numbers drastically improved, he was eating and happy!
tuesday night- he’s still doing good and back home, look at that smile, so so stressful, expensive, but worth totally worth it!
still got long road ahead, lots of work and fighting to do! especially to walk again, can’t have steroids with iffy liver but he is getting feeling in his back legs, and decent chance with therapy he can at least control his bowels again! he will need physically therapy, and get his liver checked often, so it will be expensive and time consuming, he will need to continue to fight, it will be a lot of work and time for me and him!
much love to all that helped make this happen, couldn’t be more happy to have my son home
