Please help Rosie with her knee surgery
Donation protected
Hello friends and family! Rosie is my beautiful and very precocious 5 1/2 year old American Bulldog. She is extremely protective of myself, her home and all the wonderful friends and family she has accepted into her tight circle. Her love towards her humans is genuine and unmatched. If she's not entertaining you with her strong personality, she's just trying to snuggle up with you.
Unfortunately, Rosie's strong instinct to chase balls and playfully frolic on the beach has painfully caused her to rupture her cruciate ligament in her back right leg. This is the equivalent of a human tearing their ACL. Surgery is the only course of action to stabilize her knee joint, prevent any future progressive arthritis and allow her to lead a medication and pain free life.
The recommended procedure is called a Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy or TPLO surgery. It is an invasive surgery that requires a skilled surgeon and is accompanied by an extensive recovery and rehab. Needless to say, the post surgical care requires much human support and time. More than 90% of dogs expected to regain a very active and athletic lifestyle.
Rosie would greatly appreciate any and all support! Thank you for taking the time and much thanks for your generosity!
