Brewse's Journey
Brewse was a normal 3 year old, spoiled Boykin spaniel. One day we noticed that his back legs were starting to buckle. He could walk but would just kind of wobble and lose his balance. So we went to the vet & we were told that if it were to get worse then we needed to take him to the emergency vet. As the day progresses, he went immobile in his back legs. The only way he could get around was by scooting. So the next day, we took him to the emergency vet. They highly suspected IVDD (intervertebral disc disease). It We got an estimate on the surgery and it was going to be very expensive, we applied for a credit card but did not get approved for what we needed. At that point, we thought that there was no way we were going to be able to get Brewse the surgery that he needed. But, me & my fiancé agreed that we were going to get him the surgery some way. So, we went home and the next morning I started researching ways to get funds to pay for Brewses surgery. I was chatting with Teresa Bell of Boykinivdd.com & she told me about Danny & Ron’s rescue and how they helped some people she knew. So I applied on their website and called moments later. The night we took Brewse we prayed over him & asked for a way for him to get the surgery. Our prayers were answered with a call from Danny & Ron’s Rescue! And we cannot thank them enough for taking stress off of my family & off of Brewse. We are thankful for everyone who donated it gave us words of advice during this terrible time. It’s been a little over 2 months since his surgery and he is not yet back to 100% in his back legs. But we are continuing to work with him every day to regain his strength in his back legs. - Belle Ruggiero
