Please Help Me Understand My Dog’s MRI 🙏🏻
Hi guys. As many of you already know, my dog has been going through a very difficult time with paralysis and serious neurological issues.
We finally got his MRI done, and the report came yesterday. After seeing the report, multiple doctors have told me that he may need strong antibiotics and steroids, and some have also discussed the possibility of surgery.
But honestly, I am completely confused and scared. I don’t know whether surgery will actually help him, whether the antibiotics and steroids will improve his condition, or what his realistic chances of recovery are.
I have already spent almost all of my savings on his treatment, travelling, investigations, hospital visits and physiotherapy. At this point, I genuinely don’t have much money left, and I don’t want to make another huge financial decision without understanding what we’re actually dealing with.
I am sharing his MRI/report here. If there is a veterinary neurologist, experienced vet, or anyone who genuinely understands spinal/neurological cases, please take a look at his report and guide me.
I don’t need false hope. I just want to know the honest reality:
• What exactly is wrong with him?
• Is surgery actually indicated?
• Can antibiotics and steroids help in his particular condition?
• What are his realistic chances of walking again?
• Is there anything else we should consider before spending more money?
I have tried everything I possibly could for him because he is family, and I don’t want to give up on him. But I also don’t want to put him through painful procedures or spend money blindly if there is no reasonable chance of improvement.
Please read his report if you can and help me understand what the next best step should be. Even sharing this with someone who can help would mean a lot to me. ❤️‍🩹
Thank you to everyone who has been supporting us through this.

Hi everyone,
I never thought I would have to make a post like this, but I genuinely don’t know what else to do.
For the past few months, my German Shepherd has been going through an extremely difficult time. His back legs gradually stopped working, and we’ve been trying everything we possibly can to understand what is happening and give him a chance at recovery.
We came to Ahmedabad 10 days ago specifically for his treatment and physiotherapy. Since arriving, we have visited around 8–10 different hospitals, clinics and doctors because we kept getting different possibilities and diagnoses paralysis, severe arthritis, hip dysplasia, neurological problems, bladder issues, stomach infection, and more.
We have done multiple investigations, treatments and consultations, and we have also recently gone through an MRI to understand what is actually happening with him.
The bill here in Ahmedabad has already reached around ₹47,000.
Before Ahmedabad, we had already spent approximately ₹80,000 in Udaipur on his treatment, tests, medicines and care.
And unfortunately, this journey isn’t over.
His doctors have recommended continued physiotherapy and rehabilitation. I also need to arrange physiotherapy equipment and other rehabilitation treatments for him, including a Magnora device and two laser-light devices, which together may cost around ₹60,000 more.
I’m honestly running out of money.
But I’m not ready to give up on him.
He is my first dog. He has been a part of my life for years, and he is not “just a dog” to me. He is family.
Today, I looked into his eyes and, for the first time in a while, he looked genuinely happy. That tiny moment gave me hope again.
I know everyone has their own struggles, and I completely understand that not everyone can donate. Even sharing this post would mean a lot to me.
If you are able to contribute anything ₹100, ₹500, ₹1,000, whatever you can it would help us continue his treatment.
I will attach his medical reports and bills here for transparency.
I’m not asking for money because I want something luxurious for him. I’m asking because I want to give my dog every reasonable chance I can before I accept that there is nothing more we can do.
If you can help, please help me keep fighting for him. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who reads this, shares it, donates, or simply sends a prayer for him.
It genuinely means more than you know.

Hey everyone Just a little update for all of you who have been following my dog’s journey and were there whenever I needed suggestions, advice, or simply some support. I brought him to Ahmedabad on the 7th for his physiotherapy. Yesterday was Day 1, and today is Day 2. 🐾 We’re taking it one day at a time and hoping and praying for the best. He also showed some pain in his spine, so we got a new spine X-ray done to understand what’s going on. All I can say is let’s hope for the best. 🙏🏻❤️ Please pray for his recovery, to whichever God you believe in. Every prayer means a lot to me and to him. Thank you to everyone who has checked on him, given suggestions, shared experiences, or simply wished him well. You guys have been there through this journey, and I’m genuinely grateful. ❤️ Now we’re just taking it day by day and hoping for a little miracle. 🐶✨

I’m writing this with a very heavy heart because I don’t know what else to do.
My 11-year-old male German Shepherd has hip dysplasia, severe arthritis, and now a neurological condition affecting his bladder. His urine report is clear, but because of the neurological issue, he cannot control his urination. Today, the vet had to place a urinary catheter.
I’ve already consulted multiple veterinarians.
One vet suggested physiotherapy, but another advised that because of his age, advanced hip dysplasia, arthritis, and neurological condition, physiotherapy and hydrotherapy are unlikely to help and may even cause further injury. They also mentioned that Proin 50 mg could help with his urinary incontinence, but it’s not available in India.
I feel completely lost. I love my dog more than words can express, and seeing him like this is breaking my heart. He still gets excited for food and wants to be with us, but his body is failing him. I don’t want him to suffer, and I don’t want to give up on him if there’s still something that can improve his quality of life.
If anyone has:
Experience with a dog having both neurological bladder issues and hip dysplasia.
Used an alternative to Proin that’s available in India.
Worked with a veterinary neurologist or orthopedic specialist.
Any genuine advice that helped your senior dog.
Please, please share your experience.
I’m not looking for false hope.I just want to know if there’s anything else I can do for my best friend.
Thank you for reading. Please keep him in your prayers. ❤️🐾

🚨 Please Help My 11-Year-Old German Shepherd 🙏🐾
My 11-year-old male German Shepherd started limping about 6 months ago. At that time, I thought it was just a sore leg or something minor, so I didn’t realize how serious it could become.
Two days ago, he suddenly lost the ability to walk with his back legs. We rushed him to the vet, got X-rays done, and were told that he has severe arthritis.
Since then, he’s also been peeing every few minutes, but only a few drops each time. I don’t know if this is related to his arthritis or if it’s another problem. Watching him struggle is absolutely heartbreaking.
I’m trying everything I can. I’m planning to buy a small swimming pool for hydrotherapy so he can exercise without putting pressure on his joints, and I’m also looking to buy an infrared red light therapy device to help with his pain. But honestly, I’m scared and losing hope.
I’m emotionally shattered. Seeing him like this is breaking me.
If anyone has gone through something similar with their dog, or has experience with severe arthritis, paralysis, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, red light therapy, or anything that helped, please share your advice. If you know of a specialist, rehabilitation centre, or anything that could give him a chance to walk again, please let me know.
Please don’t ignore this post. Even one suggestion could make a difference for my boy. 🙏🐶❤️
Thank you so much.
