Mishka's TTA surgery
Donation protected
Hi,
My name is Eliane and I'm currently a full time student.
I'm asking your help for my dog, Mishka.
I adopted Mishka from a shelter 5 years ago, or should I say, she adopted me. :-)
In 2014, I found out Mishka had a torn ACL and she needed a very expensive TPLO surgery (close to 4000$). We managed to have it done at the time. I was also told that her other ACL was partially ruptured, so I had to be very careful to make sure that injury didn't get worse, because I simply couldn't afford another expensive surgery.
Well... I did everything I could to keep her safe, but now, 2 years later, it happened. She tore her other ACL and needs another surgery. She's been walking on her surgery leg so much that she developed severe arthritis in it, and her other back leg has a tore ACL. Therefore, she now has a very hard time running or just walking, and it breaks my heart to see her like that. She is such a good dog and she brings life and love to everyone around her. She doesn't deserve to be in so much pain. I tried giving her vitamins, pain killers, everything... but at this point, nothing other than another surgery can really help her.
Everyone that knows me, knows how much my dog means to me. She is my whole world and I just want her to be healthy and happy. She is 5 years old and still has another good 5 years ahead of her... I know that some people may think it's crazy to spend so much money on a dog, but to me, my dog is my family and I really don't know what I would do without her. She helped me get through the toughest times. However, as I mentionned earlier, I'm a full time student and all I currently have is student loans. It's nearly impossible for me to pay her surgery, and sadly Mishka's leg can't wait for me to be able to afford it.
So here I am, on GoFundMe, hoping that I can get a little help so that Mishka can run freely again. Anything would help, really. The faster I can get enough money down for the surgery, the faster I can book her appointment and get her on the path to recovery. I will also keep everyone updated on how everything goes. Please help me and Mishka live a happier life! Thank you! :-)
Sincerely,
Eliane and Mishka <3
