In Support of Hank's Emergency Spinal Surgery
Help Hanky Boy Walk Again After Emergency Spine Surgery
Hi everyone,
Our sweet pup, Hank, just went through the scariest moment of our lives. Out of nowhere, Hank suffered an acute intervertebral disc rupture (IVDD) that left him in severe pain and unable to use his back legs and body.
Our sweet pup, Hank, just went through the scariest moment of our lives. Out of nowhere, Hank suffered an acute intervertebral disc rupture (IVDD) that left him in severe pain and unable to use his back legs and body.
We had no choice but to rush Hank to the emergency vet for immediate, life-saving spinal surgery. While the surgery went well, the initial emergency and medical bills have already reached $10,000.
This cost covers only the emergency stabilization and the surgery itself. It does not include upcoming post-op follow-up visits, or the specialized rehabilitation Hank needs to regain strength and mobility.
Anyone who knows Hank knows he is full of life and joy, and how much he loves adventures, hiking, playing, and making everyone smile. Seeing him like this is absolutely heartbreaking, and we are doing everything we can to give him the fighting chance he deserves to walk and play pain-free again.
How the funds will be used:
- $10,000: Emergency vet stabilization, diagnostics, and spinal surgery (already incurred)
-
$3,000+: Post-op medications, dedicated physical therapy, and neurologist visits
If you are able to donate—even a few dollars—it means the world to us and Hank. If you cannot donate, sharing this page with your friends, family, or pet-loving communities would mean just as much.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping Hank on his path to recovery.
With deep gratitude,
Ayesha, Kalya and Hank
