Help Spot Get Back on His Feet

Spot has been part of our family for just over a year, and in that time he has brought so much joy. He’s a loving, cheeky Jack Russell who believes one thing above all else — ball is life!

Three months ago, Spot slipped on the stairs while coming to bed and suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament and a fractured femur in one of his back legs. He has been incredibly brave, but the injury has changed his day-to-day life. He now needs to be carried up and down the stairs, and he can’t chase his favourite ball — something he just doesn’t understand.

We’ve seen an orthopaedic specialist who says that surgery is his best chance of regaining mobility, avoiding further damage, and living pain-free. Without surgery, Spot is at risk of a full rupture and developing arthritis.

✅ Cost of Surgery

We have received a veterinary estimate for the total cost of Spot’s operation and required care:

Estimated total: £4,320.39

This includes:

TPLO cruciate surgery

Anaesthesia

Hospital care

Medication & pain relief

Antibiotics

Follow-up checks

Sutures

(Additional post-operative care may be required.)

Unfortunately, Spot is not insured, and although many of you kindly helped us previously with his tests and pain medication, those funds have now been used. We are now asking for help to give Spot the chance to live comfortably again.

Even the smallest donation — even the price of a coffee — means so much to us. ❤️

Spot is 14, but our vet says there is no reason he can’t enjoy another 4–5 happy years with proper treatment. He deserves the chance to spend those years doing what he loves most: running around, being his silly self, and playing ball.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for reading and for any support you can give.

All we want for Christmas is for Spot to be well again.
