Help support Bo’s amputation and recovery!

Hi everyone! We are Cayt and Mike. We adopted our boy ‘Bo’ two years ago from a local foster. He has been an amazing addition to our family-little brother/protector to our daughter Tessa and our other dog Bailey’s best friend.

One day this past July, while playing outside, Bo experienced a freak accident and we rushed him to the hospital where the vet took an x ray and his back leg was broken.

After our first visit, we were told we would hear back to schedule our next appointment. After a couple of weeks, we didn’t hear from them so we called the office. After being told we should’ve been back for a check up a week or so prior, we rushed him over, guilt stricken AGAIN, like what did we miss?! This visit we learned he ended up getting an infection.

We were then told he was supposed to have been seen every 10 days since the first visit (which we were not told and no one from the office followed up), but now, because Bo has an infection, he had to be seen every 5 days until the infection is gone. After being seen every 5 days getting rebandaged and taking antibiotics the infection was gone.

So, we started the visits every 5 days. Often times Bo got rebadged by different members of their team. On several occasions, the bandaging was done so poorly, it only took a couple of hours for it to fall off. In order to heal the break properly, Bo had to keep his leg in a tight splint. This went on through September, over and over again with no answers as to why it wasn’t healing, hundreds of dollars seemingly wasted, lots of tears from us and our poor Bo.

After a lot of disappointment and frustration we sought another opinion mid September. Following an examination and x-ray, we were told the bone was not fusing together so we are asking for help to support Bo’s amputation surgery and the recovery that will come along with it. He’s the sweetest boy and we want to see him his happy, playful self again-pain free.
