Astrid Update: 

She has just past 2 weeks of (nearly solid and continuous) crate rest. She is slowly walking now with a heck of a lot of wiggle! 

this is how she drinks water because shes a stubborn lil thing

Anyway, her progress is amazing! Her stitches aren't out yet (Tuesday) and her crate rest is up in 4 more weeks but she's trying so hard and my heart swells with happyness  

I am still taking commissions and my tictail shop is open to help me build up funds for her care needs! Thank you for your kind words and support



This is my daughter. She is nearly 7 years old and is a proper lady (until it comes time to eat delicious turds).

Yesterday she came down with her first major case of vertebrate inflammation. Her back legs are currently limp and unusable. 

We can't afford surgery, even with the vet payment plan. (Interest rates are fucking crazy and no one could give us any idea about how much we could apply for without actually properly applying for it first. That shit takes time and we didn't have time. Besides, there's a chance it could all be for nothing if it doesn't work anyway.) So basically Danny and I might graduate into being Wheelie Ween Parents lol. We are a little scared of what's going to happen as Wheelie Weenie Parents, but this isn't a life-threatening thing. I think I've finally gotten over the migraine I had from crying/being awake all night lol oh no.

So here we go, day 1 of cage rest! Here she is looking miserable and hating us for locking her up lol. 


It's not like we had no idea this was coming, I mean, Dachshund = back problems. 

She and her brother Panzer (cosplaying as Slink below) have no idea whats happening and I feel that's the hardest part. But Astrid keeps trying to zoom around anyway, especially when the dinner bell goes ha. 
 

We will be looking into getting her her own cage instead of borrowing the vets' for a full month, and sourcing wheelchair prices as well. We do have two weeners so I am expecting this to happen to him as well.

We don't have heaps of cash so if you wanted to help her you can buy me a ko-fi here and I'll draw you a thing in return :3 Here's my original post about my ko-fi drawings. 

I owe people some art so I'll list them here as a reminder to myself and a warning to you I guess that it might take longer for me to do this.
