Hi, I am Erik and I set up this fundraiser for our dog, Panda. She has been our rock, bought on a farm in Sligo during the toughest of lockdowns across the world in Ireland, so she is indeed very, very dear and precious to us as a family. Few weeks ago, she tore her cruciate ligament and she needs an expensive surgery (around £4000) to get it fixed. This surgery is scheduled to happen within the next few weeks.

At the moment, she is struggling to put her paw down to walk normally and needs to hop around, and she cannot run without hurting herself. She is a very active dog and loves to play with a ball and go on walks, and still now with her leg being in pain, she wants to do all these things, but can't as it will just cause more damage and we can see that she is in pain while doing anything. She went from a very happy and active dog, always running around the house and "talking" to us, to one where she is always laying on the floor, and from what I believe, trying to be happy with what she has.

All the funds that are raised here will go towards her and her surgery.
