Surgery for my baby

Kirwee, Canterbury

Update: originally thought to have had been caught in a gin trap by the vet, we were updated that they now think it was dog attack because of the deep puncture wounds on his pelvis that they didn't discover until they were operating. After talking to our neighbour's and reviewing security footage from their camera we believe it was an unleashed dog. Unable to save his leg it was amputated aswell as what was left of his tail. So far it has cost us over $4000 and will be costing even more for his aftercare/nights at the vet so any little bit donated will go directly to that. Also thank you to everyone that has already donated ❤️❤️❤️❤️ we will keep everyone updated with his recovery

Update for Baby  16 February 2024

Baby is doing very well considering, he has no nerve damage and his staples are due to come out next week. Although he is still finding his balance on his 3 legs and no tail he is expected to make a full recovery. Thank you to everyone that donated, every cent helped us through an extremely traumatic and stressful time and we appreciate it so much ❤️❤️❤️
