Noodle Our Christmas Miracle Boy
Tax deductible
Update! Noodle had another surgery 1/30/2019 do to a fever, swelling and abscess on his back leg, the poor kid can't catch a break and been thru more then most dogs and humans in a life time, between all the surgeries in the past two months it's completely drained the rescue funds. Thank you for your love & support when helping save these precious souls.
This sweet young boy is 3-month-old Noodle. He’s a Boxer-mix who recently found himself badly in need of surgery after some sort of accident that left him with severe fractures in 3 of his legs. A person brought him into a California shelter saying he found Noodle after he was hit by a car, so that’s all we have to go on in regard to how he got hurt.
Thankfully, one of our friends of rescue saw a post about this little guy and reached out to us for help. We immediately agreed to welcome Noodle to our family and get him the medical care he needed. He was examined at Desert Care Animal Hospital in Hesperia , CA , and thanks to Dr. McClaine contacting a friend of hers who is an Orthopedic Surgeon, Noodle got to have the life-saving surgeries he needed on Monday, December 3, 2018. The following are from his surgeon, Dr. Behrenfeld’s, notes.
Treatment completed:
1. Rear right leg – Femoral Head Osteotomy (FHO) (click here for more info FHO - https://www.topdoghealth.com/library/orthopedic-surgery/articles-surgery/femoral-head-osteotomy-fho-dogs/)
2. Rear right leg – Bone Plate/Screw Femur Reconstruction
3. Rear left leg – Cross-Pin Tibia Reduction/Fixation
4. Front left knee – Cross-Pin Humeral Condyle Reduction/Fixation
All the procedures took at total of 4 hours. It was noted by Dr. Behrenfeld that due to Noodle’s young age, his bones are very soft, so it will be absolutely imperative that he not try to walk or put any weight on his legs for 4 weeks. He’s confident that Noodle will heal quickly though, again due to his young age. One of the veterinarian technicians at Desert Care Animal Hospital will be taking Noodle home with them every day while he recovers.
As you can imagine, all of these procedures come at a high price. We are beyond thankful for the discounts given to us by both doctors, so the amount could have been a lot more. We have already paid $5,000 as a deposit and will pay the balance due once we have that final number. If you can help us in any way to recoup the money we will spend to save Noodle’s life, we will be forever grateful. No amount is too small!!
