Hey all. Anyone who knows me know of my big boy, one proud mama over here! If you've ever met Kev, you know he's a sweetheart and character. He's a giant pain in my you know what but I love him dearly and wouldn't trade him for the world!

Getting to the point, big boy has been diagnosed with cruciate disease (acl issues in people) and requires an expensive tplo surgery (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy). Dr has told me he may need brace due to the way his leg moves and to eliminate it from rotating. Surgery is booked for February 10th - if I wait, prolonged favoring of his good leg will result in deterioration of said leg. Recovery is about 8-12 weeks with monthly follow-ups with his surgical vet.

Setting this up is me swallowing my pride. I'd do anything for Kevlar, but I'm financially strapped - I'm working, just don't have the hours to allow me to budget this on my own.

Any help is beyond appreciated. Honestly not sure what I am expecting out of this, if anything, but willing to give it a shot.

Many thanks and much love!
