Duke’s orthopedic surgery
Donation protected
It’s been a long 24 hours to say the least. Last night around 5:30 pm, Duke and Mariah were attacked by several dogs at the dog park on pleasant grove in Roseville. Duke was taken to Loomis Vet Emergency straight from the dog park, where after several exams and x-rays found out he not only suffered several bites, but also broke his supraglenoid tubercle (left front shoulder). As much as we would love to be able to handle this our own, Mariah is a full time nursing student so right now we only have one income. The estimated cost for Dukes surgery is around 3,500 after his already emergency room visit of tonight that was 1,000. We understand that unfortunate events like this do happen but would be forever grateful to get any help towards the unexpected cost this is going to have on our pockets! We have exhausted our savings, care credit, etc.
If you can’t donate at this time, please share, even the slightest amount will help us get closer to Duke’s recovery. Thank you for taking the time to read!
FULL STORY:
Duke is a 5 month old German Shepherd puppy. We were playing fetch at the dog park and a big black/white pit mix dog didn’t like that we had a ball and started attacking Duke, knocked me down in the middle of the attack, which drew attention from several other dogs. As Duke was being bit from everywhere, I tried my hardest to fend dogs off of him but was unsuccessful as I was only one person against 8 dogs. I’m fine, but unfortunately duke suffered injuries. :( By the time the owners were able to get their dogs, he had already been yelping in pain, so from there we headed to the emergency room.
