Help Sierra's Pup Dash Get ACL Surgery

Hello All,

My name is Sierra-although I’m sure many of you know that, but for the people who do not I would like to share a few things about myself before asking for your helping hand in my pup’s emergency. I’m 27 years old and I have several animals in my household and some of those animals, my cats for example, have been in my life since I was a child. I have three cats currently, one two-year-old Kitty named Harlow, and two 17 year olds Sheba, and Speedy. I just lost my fourth cat to thyroid hypertension and kidney failure. For three years I gave him IV, daily medication, and fed him a special diet-which was very costly to manage by the way- though in the end, Lucky sadly lost his battle at 16.5 years old in May. My dog Dash is 7, but he turns 8 in February and besides colitis, he’s a pretty happy go lucky pup! I feed him a special diet daily and it regulates his inflammation so he’s able to live a normal life! Somehow it seems that when he was jumping off of his favorite living room chair, his nail got stuck in the fabric and he twisted his left rear leg, leaving him unable to use it. Now he’s hopping around on three legs for a week or so. I was worried when it did not get better after several days and I even iced and wrapped it, so I called and made him a vet appointment. I took him to his vet thinking it may be a minor sprain and Dr. Archer explained I will need to get him an X-ray, but he is saying upon examination it seems to be an ACL tear.. this would be catastrophic because the only way to fix his leg will be surgery and it is upwards 4000 plus he will need hydrotherapy to rehabilitate afterwards. I currently lost my vehicle and am in the process of getting a new one and since I work for myself my car is my main source of income so I have been spread bare thin and I have to come up with over $493.00 just for his x-ray to confirm what the issue is, so that is what I am asking for help with initially. I am hoping it won’t be the ACL tear, but I am asking for your guys help in anything you can contribute towards my baby. Anyone who knows me knows how much I care for my animals and all I sacrifice for them. I will not ever ask for help in own personal affairs for myself, but the price to get your animal medical care is seriously outrageous and there’s just no way I can keep up with these expenses while I have less income coming in. That still doesn’t mean I can leave my poor baby Dash in this condition, because it’s painful and debilitating. He is on anti-inflammatories now from his vet, but prolonged use is not recommended. If anyone even has $1 to donate it will very much be appreciated because I truly need all the help I can get with this. I have attached Dash’s recent bill that I already paid to show you guys and show you the doctor’s estimate for his x-ray as well and a picture of him today with his leg hanging in the air all crazy. I am going to update photos of dash’s medical receipts as I go as well so you guys can see for yourself how expensive it is just to help a pet, it’s seriously crazy. Thank you all for taking time to read this, and if you are able to share or donate, God bless you in advance. You don’t know how much it is appreciated.
