Dear friends, we are facing a big dilemma and we need your help to solve it. A few days ago we received a request to help in the case of a female doggy with a broken paw. We thought it was about a fresh fracture, but it wasn’t like that. The girl has two fractures:
– distal femur fracture from the growth plate and
– distal tibia fracture from the growth plate.
There are three possible approaches to this case:
1. We leave the paw the way it healed itself (on a wrong position) and she will live with this burden for the rest of her life.
2. We amputate the paw so she will get rid of the burden, but she will only have three legs – she will be able to live like that; or
3. We try to repair the paw, with the risks it implies, meaning it’s possible that her articulations cannot be redone and the paw would not function properly, the dog would only be able to use it as a support for the body weight, in the worst case scenario. On the other hand, it’s possible that she will regain full function of the paw, in time, but there’s no guarantee.
The third option is the most expensive and, taking our financial difficulties into account, we cannot apply it. The surgery to repair the paw costs 1100 RON, and we don’t have that money.
A few days ago we paid a 2000 RON debt to the clinics we collaborate with and we are still owing 3000 RON for the special cases and the neutering program.
The worst thing is that the surgery must be made urgently. The longer we postpone it, the less effective it will be.
Help us make a decision and, if you can afford it, contribute to our efforts to help the little one. We remind you the accounts in which you can donate for her.
If we don’t raise the sum of 1100 RON urgently, it will be impossible for us to apply the option no 3.
