Wheelchair for Punya
Donation protected
Thank you for visiting. I'm looking to fundraise money for a wheelchair for our German Shepherd Punya.
Punya is a 11 year old bundle of grumpy. She's the sweetest when she wants to but also she is grumpy (mostly with me, I cuddle her too much). That's not to say we don't love her.
The explain the reason we need a wheel chair I will have to explain her history. This will be long. Punya had a skin allergy for many years, and we have tried different medication over those years. One of these medication were steroids.
Punya was always skinny, wouldn't eat if it wasn't cooked right and just being a fussy eater. After the steroids she ate everything she could see meaning she put on a lot of weight. Because she put on a lot of weight her hip displaysia has showed up.
She had it since birth and the vets were stunned she never showed any issues with it before. Due to the weight on her hips she started to struggle with at first getting up then walking. She started going on shorter walks and lying down more. The result of her lying down was an infection on her back paw and leg.

I wasn't the one who saw this, mum said her leg just exploded with pus. Punya has been taken to the vet, infection has been treated but was was left was an open wound where you can very clearly see Punyas tendons.
This photo was taken mid treatment. Was a lot worse and it's now much better.
This was back in July. Months of vet visits, tears, bandaging, sleepless nights and pills, Punyas wound is almost healed. I say almost as it went from around 4 inches in diameter to about 2 millimeters.
Unfortunately over those months Punyas leg lost a lot of muscle, she practically can't walk on it. Her other leg is giving out too.
Most people would put their dog down a long time ago but Punya is our family, she's my furry sister and I am not letting her go without giving her a chance.
She still has a lot of life in her and I want to keep her around as long as possible but keeping in mind she is elderly and the time may come soon.
This is probably too long but I do hope you can consider donating for a wheelchair which will help Punya lose some weight and go out as she really does want to go but can't and it breaks my heart seeing her like this.
Thank you and sorry again for the long message.
