Help Addie Jump Again
Donation protected
Both right and left CCLs torn, requiring TPLO surgery which is about $10,000 for both legs. Unfortunately this is unaffordable for me. Because of her age (only 2) it is the best option (the only one short of putting her down:-(, which would be awful). She is a wonderful dog, rescued from the humane society at 8 weeks and I’d like her to have a shot at a normal life. She loves everyone and gets on great with all other dogs. I chose her because there are so many in shelters! As it is, she is physically uncomfortable, unstable, unable to exercise or jump, so not having a normal dog life. Without surgery she will develop arthritis and be crippled. The surgery is what they call no fail because the appliance does the work of the ligaments, so it is a permanent fix. The stats are good: 98% return to normal function within 6 months and only 4% complication rate. All that being said I think it will be worth it. Thank you so much for any help you might be willing to provide.
