Save Captain the Swimmer Puppy

Captain is a 4 month old dog with "Swimmer Puppy Syndrome." Swimmer puppies suffer from extreme weakness and underdevelopment of their adductor muscles, which for dogs are the muscles that help them get their legs underneath them to stand and walk. I got a call about an injured puppy laying in a ditch on the side of the road, and made the drive up to Vernon the next day to investigate. Captain came from a rural home where the owners did not care for their animals or ever attempt to get Captain any veterinary assistance. We approached the owners and they agreed to release him into our care. I go to school at the University of Florida, so he went straight there with me to be evaluated. The veterinarians state that with extensive and frequent physical therapy, they feel that he will be able to walk and could possibly make a full recovery. The specialty consultations and long term therapy costs are extremely extensive in itself though, and we are in serious need of funds in order for him to continue to receive this life changing care. I am only a college student trying to live off of financial aid, and cannot assume the thousands of dollars in therapy that Captain needs. The rehab veterinarian also stated that we would need to purchase a special cart to help him in the transition and facilitate more walking time for him. We are in desperate need of funds as soon as possible, because he is at a crucial age for the therapy to help correct and strengthen his legs since he has already done so much growing and his bones are terribly angulated. If Captain is to make progress and ever be able to walk at all, he must attend as much physical therapy as possible in this short window of time. If you can help change the life of Captain the sweet Swimmer Puppy, please consider donating. Thank you!
