Please Help Xena Walk Again
Donation protected
Hi all,
My name is Michelle Ghazzawi, and I have created this in hopes of getting my baby girl Xena surgery to save her leg and help her walk again.
Xena is our second youngest kitty that we got when I was a sophomore in high school. I am now a senior in college, and she has been with me for my whole teen-adult life.
Unfortunately, Xena has had a slight limp for the past few months. Yesterday, she stopped walking.
We rushed her to get help. X-rays have shown she has an inverted knee cap in her back right leg. Simply put, her knee is out of place and is going inward. The medical term for this is "patellar luxation." Surrounding this injury is multiple small bone fragments that can cause more damage and arthritis.
This type of injury is most commonly seen in small dogs. It is rare to be seen in cats, so it is a risky procedure.
We have to have multiple pre-op appointments, the surgery itself, and multiple post-op appointments. She has also been prescribed a plethora of medicine. This has all added up very quickly. I am begging you for any help you can provide. If not a donation, please share the post.
The longer the surgery is held off due to lack of funds, the higher chances we will lose her. She has 3 sisters kitties and a brother at home who love to play with her, but she cannot be with them for now as she has to stay off her leg. We want the best for her and want her to be able to walk, play, and love again. She is our most active and playful baby and loves to move around and keep the other cats active. Being able to walk again will allow her to be herself again.
She is our little warrior princess, so we believe in her strength and ability to heal with your help. Thank you so so so much.
