Buddy’s Surgery

Hello everyone! My name is Casey Stovall and I am using GoFundMe as a last resort to raise money for my sweet baby boy, Buddy. He is four years old and my husband and I have been raising him since he was 7 weeks old. He is a sweet, rambunctious, fun-loving pit bull. My husband and I have no children, so Buddy and his sister Lady are just that, our kids. We love them so very much and desperately need your help to pay for Buddy’s vet bills. He was hit by a car yesterday on Highway 150 in Paoli, IN. Sadly, the car that hit him did not stop or attempt to help him in any way. I was at work when my Mom text me and gave me the gut wrenching news that my baby had been hit. She rushed him to the BluePearl animal clinic in Louisville, KY where we found out he had shattered his right femur. This is the upper thigh bone in his right hind leg. Since the breaks are so severe and located at such a high position on his leg, casting or splinting it is not an option. The options we have been given are: 

1. Surgery to place a rod and screws in his femoral bone costing 5-$6,000

2. Amputating the leg costing $2,000

3. And euthanasia.... costing $250

We have been told the leg will not heal on its own as the injury is too severe. 

There are no long term payment options available. All 3 facilities I have spoken with so far want all the money up front. We are aware of care credit and are utilizing that option, however it is not coming close to covering the overall costs. I would normally never ask for a handout or donation, but for my baby I will do anything I can to get him the care he deserves, even if it means swallowing my pride to create this GoFundMe.

We have about 6 days of pain medication left to keep him somewhat comfortable. We are trying to raise as much money as we can in that amount of time! The $2,000 goal I have set is for option 2, amputation. Although not ideal, at least our baby would be able to live! However, If we are able to raise closer to 5-$6,000 we will opt to have the surgery.  Any amount you can give would be greatly appreciated! If you are unable to give financially, we are asking for prayers for our seeet boy. Thank you in advanve for your support!
