X-rays needed for Arizona's front legs

$445 of $450 goal
Given by 11 generous donors in 4 weeks

Arizona came into the care of the SPCA with laminitis, she is in much need of x-rays on her front hooves for her welfare.

Southland

Arizona is a very quiet lovely thoroughbred who is in much need of some help. Her hooves are extremely cracked and long and she was brought to the Southland SPCA with laminitis. The vets have advised she is going to require x-rays on her front hooves to determine the severity of the situation. This is an expensive procedure and we need your help to give Arizona the best chance she deserves. As she has been deprived from receiving this treatment for such a long time, lets not make her wait any longer!

Your donations will also go towards our Inspectorate and help the ensure that we can assist the neglected and abused animals of Southland.

Use of funds

This is to pay for much needed x-rays on her front hooves as well as any other treatment recommended by the vet.

Arizona's vet visit  16 March 2017

Arizona visited the local vet on Tuesday. She received x-rays on her front hooves and the vet was happy to check and file her teeth while she was there. Arizona was lightly sedated for both procedures and was a gem (until she had had enough of her dental work). The vet was able to get clear x-rays of both legs and we got the news we had hoped for, Arizona does not have any rotation in either of her front legs and with a good nutritional diet and ongoing hoof care she will make a full recovery in 6 - 8 months. We are so happy with this news and are so glad that with the help of your generous donations, Arizona was able to receive the treatment she needed now before the damage in her legs got to a point where it was irreversable. So Arizona will spend the next few months in the care of the Southland SPCA with the help of some fantastic foster teams until she is back to her old self and will then be available for adoption. Thank you again for your very kind donations and support in this cause - it does show when working as a team, anything can happen!!
