So, Chanel has gone through some rough time from getting hit by a car to practically a three-legged state after her orthopedic surgery until she became fully mobile after a long rehab period. But now she's facing more surgeries. :( We recently went back to the orthopedic surgeon because Chanel seemed uncomfortable from time to time. The doctor told us that she has Grade 3 out of 4 patella luxation (a condition where the kneecap is dislocated from its normal location). Grade 3 means the patella is permanently dislocated but can be reduced manually and requires surgery. And the sooner Chanel gets it done, the better because the outcomes are better in younger dogs.
The surgery will need to be done one leg at a time, and each surgery will take 14 to 16 weeks to recover. The cost of both surgeries is estimated to be $5000, which does not include the physical therapy.
Please help us raise $5000 for Chanel's surgeries. She had almost been killed in a shelter because she had an injury and was given a second chance at life; she deserves the quality of life for years to come. But her new surgeries do come with financial challenges...
Your generous contribution will be tax-deductible through Lucky Dog Animal Rescue, and you will receive a receipt for the donated amount.
