Help Clyde get surgery!

*9/2/25 update. Unfortunately Clyde did not recover as well as the surgeon hoped. He returned today for a repeat CT. There was no true answer to why he is still in so much pain, outside of progressing arthritis so he received a joint injection (arthramid) that should help with his joint health and pain. This was another expensive treatment but again, we’re just hoping to find a way he can be pain free. I will add invoices in the comments but any amount donated is greatly appreciated*

Hi everyone,

Clyde is our 7 month old Lab who has been struggling with a limp for the past few months. After multiple vet visits, X-rays, and referrals, we finally got a diagnosis: he has a fragmented coronoid process, a painful elbow condition. The good news is that surgery can correct the issue and give him the active, pain-free life he deserves.

Between diagnostics and the surgery itself, we’re looking at about $5,000. While the surgery should greatly improve his mobility, he will likely deal with some level of arthritis in the future but getting this done now gives him the best chance at a happy, healthy life.

Surgery is moving forward, I’m just hoping to come out of it a little less in debt. If you’re able to donate, even just a little, it would mean the world to both of us. If not, sharing this with others would be just as appreciated. I truly wouldn’t ask if it weren’t necessary, and every bit of help gets us one step closer to getting Clyde back to a happy, active pup.

Thanks so much for reading and supporting us.

Christina, Braylen, Treyton, and Clyde
