This Adorable Dog Just Needed To Have Emergency Surgery Due To A Degenerative Disease
Dalton, Pennsylvania. Lola Shamone Placko is a pup in need of your help! Lola was recently diagnosed with a chronic disc degenerative disease.
While she is one happy puppy who is very friendly and has the sweetest smile, Lola is unfortunately in a lot of pain.
On March 25th, her backs legs stopped working right out of the blue. She was exhausted and unable to move.
Lola’s family immediately took her to Memorial Vet Urgent Care in Throop, Pennsylvania, where they decided to take x-rays which discovered a few problems with her vertebras near her tail.
As soon as they discovered this information, Lola’s parents took her to a neurologist, where she was then diagnosed with a chronic disc degenerative disease. They decided to perform an MRI, which showed a ruptured disc and bruised spinal cord.
Lola would need emergency surgery to remove the ruptured material and realign her spine.
Thankfully the surgery went well! Lola is currently recovering at Penn Vet ICU, where she will reside until she is fully healed.
Although the surgery was a success, Lola has not gained mobility in her back legs.

This poor pup has a long road of recovery ahead of her, and only time will tell if her range of mobility will ever return.
So far, her medicals bills have cost $13,000 for all of her tests, surgery, and medical care. Since this is just the beginning, this does not include rehabilitation or the equipment and supportive care she will need in the future.
Friends of the family have set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for Lola’s medical bills.
Suppose there is any money left over after paying the medical bills in full; in that case, the family plans on donating to the Dessin Animal Shelter in Honesdale, where she was adopted from, in Lola’s name.
