Rottweiler needs TPLO Knee Surgery x2
Donation protected
Our just turned 2 year old female Rottweiler Leeta, has torn her cranial crucial ligament (CCL) in her right rear leg a few months back. We have been trying to get her on it again with a homeopathic method due to financal burdens. She has been hobbling around and gingerly toe tapping since it happened.
On Thursdaty 10/17/2014 she just blew out her other leg with the same problem (CCL) and needs to have them both surgically repaired. The procedure is Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) and it costs $5,000 PER LEG! The total just for the surgical proecdures will be $10,000 dollars. Not including any after care, therapy and assistance.
I am a father of 4 small children (9,7,5,3) and they, as well as myself are distraught about the condition of our girl Leeta. As it is now, I have exhausted all of my funds on care for the one leg, and I can't bear to put her down.
Surgery will fix her, she will have a normal life with mild if any discomfort, but also a happy life according to 3 surgeons we've seen over the past week.
I will get her surgery, but at this comes a huge financial burden on us that we're trying to overcome.
It takes a group of people to help and I am asking for much needed assistance, if not from you, but maybe you can help share/spread our word. We are seeking for the procedures of our girl Leeta, for as it stands now, she can't sit up on her own, walking, which is similar to trying to walk on ice skates and even has a difficult time going potty outside, which I must carry her towards (90 lbs) It's been a hard year and with this makes it even more difficult for us all.
Please help, proof of her ailment is below, with dated documentation and x-rays of her problem. I also plan to update as much as I can as it comes about. If you need any further documentation, proof videos, or photos, please don't hesitate to ask us.
