Oliver's Second Chance
Tax deductible
Oliver, our cute honorable pugman, has a long road of recovery ahead of him. As many of you know, Oliver was found as a stray in Chicago this May. His fur was so matted, it cut through his back leg. We knew we had to jump in and help! When we first saw his picture, his beautiful but scared eyes melted our hearts. We soon found out he was not a pug mix, but a shih tzu. We didn't care. We had to save this baby. And you all agreed!
While at his first appointment at the orthopedic center at the University of Illinois on 6/2, it was determined that this achilles tendon was ruptured and he required immediate surgery. They were able to reattach the tendon and put pins in his leg. He has to wear a brace on the outside of his leg to keep it immobile while he heals. He will need regular bandage changes and another x-ray in six weeks to monitor the repair. For the next 3 months his activity is restricted (luckily he loves cuddling his foster mom and siblings). His total recovery will take 3-6 months. There is a risk that the tendon may tear again, in which case another surgery or a lifelong orthotic device may be needed.
You we so giving when we first started raising funds for Oliver. We took the funds raised to date and applied that to the surgery. This campaign is to cover the balance. Your support means the world. Every amount donated helps! So much love and gratitude to you all, Oliver & NIPRA
