Fred
Our very special rescue boy, Fred, needs the Camp Cocker Rescue village's help!
Fred was found on the street by a Good Samaritan and was turned over to the West Valley, Los Angeles Animal Shelter in October 2017 where he immediately became a medical alert because of his weak back legs.
We rescued Fred from the shelter and brought him to our vet who told us that Fred had long term spinal issues that were likely caused by trauma. Since there was nothing that could be surgically done, we brought Fred to our favorite animal physical therapists at Two Hands Four Paws to help strengthen his back legs.
Fred worked super hard at physical therapy, and learned to run and play like any dog out there! We had been worrying about if Fred would ever get adopted because the neurological deficit was affecting his ability to control his potty. He was adopted in June 2018 when a lovely couple gave him a chance and figured out his poopy schedule and for the most part, he goes potty outside. He has been living such a happy and energetic life with his forever family since!
Because Fred was such a "hard to adopt" doggie, Camp Cocker Rescue promised to always take care of him if he neurological issues returned. Recently his rear paws started getting weak and he has started to walk all wobbly again. He went to our doctor for an MRI, which revealed a bulging disc (herniated disc) at L6-7 that is causing moderate to severe compression of the spinal cord and nerves in that location. The doctor is recommending surgery right away because of the severity of the compression, and we are hoping that the village would be willing to lend a helping paw to this very sweet boy?
