HELP RICKY, SAVE HIM FROM PARALYSIS AND INFECTION

Ricky has been recovering, he is able to walk now. He is still under medication and his appetite is slightly poor. All the donations have been used and will be used for his medical expenses and well being and care. Thank you all for your kind donations for Ricky!

Going to a groomer as his hair is long and he is very itchy... Hope they will be kind to him as he can't really stand properly as his legs are still weak.. Not sure will they charge xtra for dogs with disabilities...

Ricky is currently resting as advised by professionals to, he should minimize activity so his back can have time to rest and recover from his infection too!

Thank you to everyone who stepped in to Aid Ricky in donations, we are greatly appreciative of your generosity and kindness to our 10 year old schnauzer who lost his proprioception and down with a sudden infection on Monday 27 Aug 2018. We are now getting ready to get an update with the vet after medication to see if there is still infection in him as it was last tested that his white blood count is high.

Currently Ricky's proprioception is imperfect, his shoulder when he tries to stand is bent and 2 legs are very weak.

He only stands for awhile and then just stumbles down. It's a good sign though as he previously was not able to stand for even 3 seconds. Now he has some energy in him to stand for awhile which is good.

Medical cost incurred will continue to build up as we will be consulting 2 doctors ( 1 Western & 1 TCM ) he may need to do a spine scan to see if he has a slipped disc to get a confirmation diagnosis which could amount to 1000+ Medication is very expensive too for both Western and TCM, Western medication cost about $200+, TCM medicine is about $600+ for the herbs. You can view the bill of the TCM on the gogetfunding page. We are trying to get Ricky to walk again with a combination of treatments. That will be a long term treatment which will incur a lot of money.

Thank you!

Ricky has been a little bit sleepy the last few days, maybe due to the medications, his appetite is a little bad as he rejects his lunch sometimes, have to hand feed him, as for the Western medical bills please view them here if you want to check, Ricky's Medical Bills - Vet (Western)

One bottle each cost $210, he has 3 bottles, jiayou Ricky! Hope it helps him walk again! Ricky Taking Natural Medicines

Ricky went through his first acupuncture and consultation session yesterday which amounted to $810 SGD. We are now left stranded on what to do as we have spent 90% of our savings on him, we are now unsure of what to do, all your donations will help us contribute to Ricky's care and management. Thank you to all who have donated and share his story so far. We will continue to try to give him the best care possible. (View receipt on profile image)

Ricky is drinking and eating but he is vomiting his food out after he eats, might be due to the antibiotics, he still is not able to stand and the left side of his body is relatively weak, his left front leg has no sensory and we have tried training him to move his legs but he still cannot get it.. We need an xray and MRI done to see his nervous system and spine to check for tumors and growths in order to treat it. We are waiting for donations to help Ricky undergo treatment.

We got updates from the vet that he is still weak in his legs and unable to stand, she suggests doing more xray scans each at about $100-$200, we have run through our savings and we will need donations to pay for it, all donations will be spend on his recovery and diagnosis, we have already spent $1000+ on medications, blood works and hospitalizations.
