Leonberger pup in need of sponsors
Hello,
A good friend of mine, who lives in the Netherlands, breeds Leonbergers. She has adopted a crippled Leonbergerpup. He isn't able to use his back legs. The pup has been named Chai, whichs means life. He was born with a hernia, and the breeder took it away from his mother to die. Three days went along, and the pup refused to die. The breeder then took it back to his mom, so it could drink again. My friend heard of the situation and instantly decided to give Chai a chance. He has been taken to hospital and x-rays were made. A hernia was diagnozed. The chances he will be able to walk after surgery are promising, according to the veterinarians. But such an operation costs much money. So, if anyone wants to help, all help is welcome. Also tips on how to help him in other ways are very welcome Take a look at: http://www.natodelamore.nl/ for some of his pictures. For more info: Contact the emailaddres on the site. Thank you in advance. Follow up set to rec.pets.dogs.behavior |

Also tips on how to help him in other ways are very welcome The vet I work with routinely fixes reducible hernias during spay/neuter surgery for no extra charge. Other local vets would charge between $10-20 for the same service. Not "much money" at all. A hernia is not related to the animal being able to use his rear legs. Something else is going on that possibly could be expensive to fix, if it is repairable at all. The kindest course would probably be to euthanize the poor beast and spend the money helping other animals with problems of less magnitude. Rescues soon learn that you can spend $100 on helping one animal, or you can spend $10 on helping 10 animals. Which has the bigger impact overall? Sunflower |
