Benny Needs Knee Surgery
Donation protected
My name is Adam Penney, I rescued Benny from the SPCA in St. John’s almost a year ago and we have been best friends ever since. Before Benny found his way to me he unfortunately had a fairly traumatic life. We live alone together and the nature of my work let’s me spend a lot of time with him, we would walk around downtown St. John’s 2-3 hours a day. He has become very important in my life and has come a long way in the short time I have had him.
In December I started to notice a limp on his back right leg. After a number of vet visits, x-rays, and the final surgical consultation today (Feb 02) I was given the bad news. My sweet, wonderful, and shy boy Benny has torn his CrCL (cranial cruciate ligament) in his right knee and unfortunately needs a very costly surgery called TPLO (tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy).
The surgery is going to cost more than I had originally thought. $5500 for the surgery alone, not including subsequent check ups and the over $1200 already spent on the diagnoses. It has become a large burden for someone working in a freelance creative field here in St. John’s.
Anything you can do helps and will go along way to giving Benny back the life he deserves.
