Help Messi Walk Again!
Donation protected
Messi, our silly goofball who loves hiking, running and swimming has been limping for a few months.
Messi has ligaments in both knees teared (CCL rupture). After consultations with different vet and trying Conservative Management, the holistic Vet and Physical therapist told me that without at least a surgery on one leg, Messi would develop severe problems in other part of his body and he would be completely invalidated in 2 to 5 years!
We can't do both legs at the same time, which is good in a way and I can see how he is doing after the first surgery.
Waiting on the final quote, but we are talking about $4K plus postoperative cost between $350 to $1,800!
EVERY donations helps a lot, including the small ones of $10-$20!
I need more help to get that baby back on his 4 paws!
Your help and support is greatly appreciated!!
Love,
Messi and Annie

PREVIOUS GOAL: Messi has barely been able walk to go to the bathroom for about a week now.
After a few vet visits, we are getting closed to a diagnosis ( immune arthritis) but before to start treatment using immuno-suppressant, they need more lab tests to rule out any bacterial infection such as Lyme Disease. As long as we don't have those tests done, we will not be able to treat Messi and he won't be able to walk. Messi is not even 2 years old yet and with treatment, he should be able to live a normal life! Lab tests are between $200-$300 EACH (I need 3 more for now + vet visits costs) and I've reach the point where I can't afford more vet bills. I work for a non profit full time and once Messi gets back on his paws, we'll continue what we love to do which is to foster dogs to make more room in shelters and help save other dogs lives! This time around, it's our turn to need help!!
Everyone who knows me know how much I love my rescue dog! He helps me everyday with my own immune disease battle and makes everyday happier! Your help means a lot to me and Messi can't wait to hang out with all of you again!
