Bacon is one of those dogs who greets you with a wagging tail and a smile—no matter what he’s going through.
At first glance, you might not realize anything is wrong. He can walk. He can even do a little jog. But underneath that happy personality, Bacon is living with a painful developmental deformity in both of his front legs.
Every step puts stress on his joints. And over time, without intervention, his condition will continue to worsen—leading to increased pain, reduced mobility, and long-term damage to his elbows and wrists.
What’s Going On
Bacon has what’s called an angular limb deformity, affecting both of his front legs.
We’ve already completed X-rays, consultations, and advanced diagnostics, and his case is now being reviewed by a national board of orthopedic specialists. This is not a simple surgery—it’s complex, highly specialized, and carefully planned.
The next step is surgical correction using orthopedic implants and advanced planning (including 3D modeling) to improve the alignment of his legs and reduce long-term damage.
⚠️ Honesty Matters
We want to be transparent:
This surgery will not make Bacon “perfect.”
Because this is a developmental condition, there are already changes in his joints that cannot be fully reversed. Even after surgery, Bacon may still have some degree of abnormality.
But what surgery can do is life-changing:
Reduce pain
Slow or prevent further damage
Improve his mobility and comfort
Give him a much better quality of life as he grows
The earlier we act, the better his outcome will be.
️ What He Needs
Bacon’s treatment plan includes:
Advanced imaging (CT scans + diagnostics)
Complex orthopedic surgery on both front legs
Surgical implants (plates and screws)
Hospitalization and recovery care
Long-term rehabilitation (physiotherapy)
Ongoing support (supplements, monitoring, follow-ups)
The Cost
We are working with a detailed medical estimate and specialist team.
Approximately $7,000 USD for surgery and hospitalization
About $1,000 already spent on diagnostics and consultations
➡️ Total goal: $8,000 USD
This does not fully cover long-term rehab—but it gets Bacon the critical surgery he needs now.
Why It Matters
Bacon is still happy. Still loving. Still trusting.
He doesn’t understand why his legs hurt—but we do.
And we have a chance to step in now and change the course of his life.
Without surgery, his condition will continue to decline.
With it, he has a real chance at a more comfortable, active, and pain-managed future.
