Help Disabled Veteran Save His Dog!
Donation protected
My beloved rottweiler, Leopold, tore his ACL & Meniscus running in the dog park. I had to wheel him home in a wheel barrel because he was crying and could not walk. The good news is: because of big hearted donors, especially one in particular, his LEFT side underwent a TPLO operation on July 15th at the ASPCA by Dr. Gayle.
Leopold subsequently developed an infection in the same left knee that we have been trying to fight with antibiotics. We have another round of x rays and a possible culture on October 15th. He then will need a second left knee surgery to take the supportive plate out where infection likes to breed.
After he heals we then have to go through physical therapy and follow up appointments that I am unable to fund due to my own disabilities stemming from the Marine Corps, so I continue to request your help.
His right rear hind leg is just as damaged as his left. Therefore, I am trying to raise the funds to have his RIGHT side surgically repaired after we heal his left.
My main goal is to get poor Leopold back to the dog park so he can see his friends. Being homebound has made him very depressed. We are both depressed, but I will never give up on him.
If you can't help, please forward to anyone you know who may be able to help. Thank you so very much either way....
