Daisy's Hip Surgery
Donation protected
For Daisy's Full Story click on it (please)- I need some help. I'm a quiet person but I need to talk about something serious - never any fun but often necessary. And this might be the only way I can accomplish this goal. We're retired. For several years we've battled life changing events. The entire story can be read by clicking on Daisy's full story above.
As a culmination to six years worth of medical issues we decided to bring a puppy into our lives, our Daisy. She is my husbands companion (no not a trained therapy dog) - just a puppy. She insists he get up - walks around - and is otherwise engaged in life.
Daisy has a huge challenge. She has been dianosed with severe hip dysplasia. The photo shows the severity of it. Her right hip (on the left side of the x-ray) is only 15% in the socket. She isn't lame - but she will be eventually without surgery. She is in gross pain (at 7 months old) and takes rimadyl and tramadol for pain. Those are usually reserved for much older dogs. It's just heart breaking. But she's a trooper and smiles all the time.
This is a challenge for Daisy and for us - it is $5000. to replace just one hip. The vet says one hip will do and we can contol the other with meds. She is 7 months old and can't have the surgery until she is 12 months or older.
I am selling off some equipment I have and selling a special pendant I've created. See Daisy Pendant - it's on Etsy. Please help if you can. Every little bit will move us forward to this goal.
Thank You - Daisy, Sharon, and Brian
