Molly's future

On Friday, Kris, Gretchen, and I took Molly to the neurologist in MD to see what he thought about her condition. After looking at her x-rays and testing her, he thought a possible 50/50 chance surgery could help her. He's has seen a dog in a worse starting point eventually learn to walk.But there is no guarantee. But the good news is: Things are connected. She does feel things. She does hold her bowel and bladder - but just releases it at the most opportune times. The neurologist would be able to tell more regarding the walking and bowel/bladder control after a $2900 MRI.

But sadly, our own funds have run out, other that a couple of us willing to purchase a drag-bag for her now and a cart in a few months when she will be more the size she will be when she if full grown. We all have concerns that we are doing the right thing. We are seriously considering releasing her to GRREAT (Golden Retriever Rescue and Training).

If there is anyone out there, with the deep pockets to pursue the potential surgery and/or provide her with an exceptional home, doing her Physical Therapy exercises, etc. being patient w/the potty issue, NOW is the time to comment below and let us know. It's time to do what is best for Molly - as our hearts are breaking!

  2. I think she is worth saving. Let's start collecting for her surgery. I would just have the surgery done and forgo the MRI
