Help abused Twix keep walking
Donation protected
Meet Twix,
This 2 month old Yorkshire terrier mix puppy is having trouble walking around. Each step she takes seems painful and unbalanced. She needs our help to walk again or risk amputation. Last week she came to Pima Animal Care Center as a stray and was suspected of been struck by a vehicle. Sadly the truth is more unsettling, after being X-rayed two different time to figure out what's wrong with her. We learned that she has significant trauma on both her elbow and hip on the left side. This makes for a difficult situation for our little puppy. Dr Wilcox who did the X-Ray informed us that the puppy has an elbow subluxation and femoral neck trauma vs necrosis which possibly means the puppy might have been kicked or fell from a car. Trauma is also visible in her eyes as it was bruised and blood red. Whatever happened left its mark. Dr. Wilcox is currently communicating with orthopedic specialists in order to save her front leg, but the surgery funds aren’t going to come from Pacc. So we need your help to save her legs! She would love nothing more than to be able to run and play like any puppy should be able to. She is happy and playful and full of life despite the pain she is in. She is currently on pain medication twice a day to keep her comfortable.
We currently lost out dear puppy Z to a live defect; we have dedicated $500 to her, what was left from Z Go fund me fundraising. We still need 3500 for her surgery. Please help. Please Share! Get the word out!
