Belle's TPLO Surgery
Donation protected
Hey Everyone !!
As many know- Belle injured herself few weeks back. She came in from outside limping and holding her leg up. We immediately made an appointment to be checked. They did an examination and x-rays. Results lead to it being a torn ACL (in dogs called CCL). We received an estimate this afternoon of $4,900 for a TPLO surgery. This would consist of the Orthopedic cutting down part of her leg bone and replacing with a metal bracket so she is able to walk, run and play normally.
Left untreated for extended period of time can result in permanent damage. The healing time period is 12 weeks. The first few weeks will be restricted to no jumping, running, playing, going out off leash. We would prefer to wait until after winter months have passed so more comfortable especially with walks and outdoor therapy. Aiming for April.
If you are able to contribute towards this it would be greatly appreciated. Every little bit helps. If you cannot financially, any amount of healing powers sent our way means all the same.
