Today (March 24, 2016) I took my puppy, Caesar, to the vet after noticing he had been limping for the past couple of days. Caesar was diagnosed with hip dysplasia, a disease in which  abnormal wear and erosion occurs in the hip joint and, in his case, early onset arthritis and pain develop. I adopted Caesar from the ASTRO Foundation in July. He was 8 weeks old. He is the light of my life; it has been a joy to watch him mature into the wonderful companion he is. The surgery he needs is quite costly and I am asking for donations to cover his medical expenses.  Currently, I am giving him medication and looking into other methods to alleviate his pain. Thank you for your consideration in donation to his cause.  I am doing everything it takes to care for him, I consider him my son. I love you, Caesar.
