When the owners of a four-year-old French bulldog mix brought their dog into a Texas shelter, they asked that their dog be euthanized. The owners told the shelter staff the dog had been walking one minute and the next he was not, and so they demanded the pup be put to sleep.
Dallas Dog – Rescue.Rehab. Reform were notified, and asked to help. The organization has had experience with situations like this in the past, and knew that time is critical, and there is a 50-50 chance of repairing the damage to the dog’s back with surgery, but that the surgery must be completed within 24 hours of the incident.
Honestly as full as rescues are and the cost of the procedure it was likely he would of been rescued within the time frame to possibly walk again was a long shot.

And so the newest resident of the non profit rescue organization was rushed to Med Vet in Dallas for an examination and diagnosis. His name is Marbles, and he will be receiving emergency surgery to give him a chance to gain the ability to walk and go to the bathroom on his own. He has been diagnosed with intervertebral disc disease (VDD) which is a condition where the cushioning discs between the vertebrae of the spinal column either bulge or burst into the spinal cord space.
This condition is commonly referred to as a herniated or slipped disc, which in turn presses on the nerves running through the spinal cord causing intense pain, nerve damage and often paralysis.

Marbles’ medical bill is estimated to be about $10,000, and donations are needed to help.
