<div><strong>Help Mac Run Again! </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, I’m Niki, proud dog mom to two Cane Corso's - Maze (5) and our sweet baby Mac, who just turned 11 months old. Mac is a big, happy boy with a heart of gold, but right
</div>
<div>now, he’s in pain every day because of a serious elbow condition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Without surgery, his pain will only get worse, and he won’t be able to enjoy a normal, active life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve tried medication, but it’s only a short-term fix and can harm his liver and kidneys if used long-term. Two veterinary surgeons have confirmed that Mac needs
</div>
<div>surgery as soon as possible and it comes with a <strong>$6,500 </strong>price tag. We’ve applied for financing, but it doesn’t even cover a fraction of the cost.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mac is the happiest, most loving pup. You can’t meet him without falling in love. Right now, he can’t run and play with Maze for more than a few minutes without limping.
</div>
<div>It breaks my heart to see his puppyhood slipping away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>How you can help:</em></strong>
</div>
<div>Donate any amount — every single dollar matters.
</div>
<div>Share Mac’s story with friends, family, and dog lovers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your kindness will help give Mac the pain-free, tail-wagging life he deserves. From the bottom of my heart, thank you
</div>
<div><br />

<div><strong><em>More About Mac’s Condition</em></strong>
</div>
<div>Mac came to us at 9 weeks old, a bouncy, goofy Cane Corso puppy. One day, after all his vaccinations, I noticed he was limping on his right front leg. I thought maybe
</div>
<div>he’d been roughhousing with Maze and just needed a rest, but the limp didn’t go away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We checked his paws, his leg, and after a week took him to the vet. X-rays confirmed <strong>Ununited Anconeal Process</strong>
</div>
<div>(<strong>UAP</strong>), a developmental defect in large-breed dogs where part of the elbow joint doesn’t fuse properly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Without surgery, this condition causes:</em></strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Chronic pain and inflammation
</li>
<li>Loss of mobility
</li>
<li>Early-onset arthritis
</li>
<li>Risk of severe, permanent joint damage
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mac is currently on Rimadyl twice daily to control the pain, but long-term use can damage his liver and kidneys. Surgery will realign his joint and remove the loose bone
</div>
<div>fragment, giving him the best chance at a pain-free life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We consulted with two top specialists, Phoenix Veterinary Surgical Specialists and Iowa State University Veterinary Hospital. We’ve chosen Iowa State because of their
</div>
<div>expertise and success rates. The estimated cost is<strong> $6,500.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Why We’re Asking for Help</em></strong>
</div>
<div>We’ve applied for Care Credit and explored every possible option, but we simply can’t cover the full cost on our own. I’ve been encouraged by family and friends to
</div>
<div>share Mac’s story here in hopes that other dog lovers might help us make his surgery possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re reading this, thank you for caring. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this page could make all the difference. Every contribution brings us one step closer to
</div>
<div>giving Mac the gift of running, playing, and living pain-free.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from us, from Maze, and from our sweet
</div>
<div>boy Mac.
