u/VaIids

So pretty much yesterday after a 2nd evaluation on my Maltese he’s got a herniated disc suspected to be relating to IDVV. He’s 6 years old and over the last couple days he’s lost his ability to use his back legs. I have to express his bladder now and pretty much restrict his mobility for the next 3 weeks. Basically, we can’t afford the process of getting him to surgery, it would be maybe $15k after all prior procedures here in WA. Now my big question is, would it be worth looking into getting him surgery and everything out in Mexico? I read online about the costs and basically I’d be looking at about $3k. My mom currently lives out in Jalisco and if I were to follow through with this he could be checked out in Guadalajara (major city/capital). My only concern is how much time does my dog have for us to make decision that would have an impact and chance of helping him?
