Really Bad News

My Dearest Human Friends,

My heart is hurting today as I watch my family gathering around me with sad eyes. Dad and I went to Dr. Sanders a few days ago for my pre-surgery prep and another MRI that Dr. Sanders agreed to do for just $200 (instead of $1600). The news we received was not good. In just a few months my condition has gotten significantly worse. In fact it got so bad that surgery is no longer an option for me. The condition is called Degenerative Myelopathy.

I have a few options - Dad and Mom are getting me a wheelchair so I can continue to walk around. Right now, I cannot even walk more than a few steps and to slow this disease down, exercise is crucial. Dad and Dr Sanders talked for a long time - I'm going to get a LOT of vitamins and various medicines - Dad said it doesn't matter, we will try everything to help me!

I'm scared but hope this wheelchair thing is going to help me. We got the one with off-road tires so I can get around the backyard, roll around on a trail and even walk in the water with it.

It is from this site: www.handicappedpets.com
I am in a state of shock right now, don't really know what else to write.....love you all, Voyager
