Help Cora Run Free

  • Cora has a new knee!! 😀😀

      21 April 2021

    Hi all

    Just thought I'd post an update to let you all know that Cora FINALLY had her knee surgery yesterday.

    The vet was very happy with how it went. He explained he really couldn't find any of her cruciate ligament which means it had ruptured to the point of disintegrating.

    He also examined her meniscus as he had been concerned there may be additional damage there, but the great news is it was all in tact and looking healthy.

    Cora stayed in overnight as she was not stable so that was extremely hard, but thankfully we picked her up first thing this morning, so our lil family is complete again!

    She has been very dopey and sensitive today which is to be expected. She has a fentanyl patch so is getting good pain relief.

    We have a crate and a pen for her to keep her super contained. She's not impressed but needs must, and as it's her home for the next 6 weeks, we've tried our best to make it as cosy as poss.

    I felt surprisingly ok yesterday while she was at the vet. The over riding feeling I had all day was just gratitude. I just felt so lucky that people were so kind and generous that it could actually happen. It was a very humbling day.

    Thank you so so much.

    I genuinely promise to do every single thing I can during Çora's strict recovery period to ensure this is a super success. I can't wait to take her for a walk, to the park, and see her free to run to her hearts content!

    Thanks again. ❤️❤️🐾

    P.s..if anyone wants to see pics/vids of her today or her progress pls pm me on Facebook. I don't know how to add them on here 🤣

  • Cora can get fixed!!

      28 March 2021

    Well..what a whirlwind this givealittle has been.

    Never in my wildest dreams did I genuinely believe it was possible to reach the whopping target of $2,500.

    I knew I had amazing friends and family that would be kind enough to donate, but in my heart of hearts I thought the target amount was an impossibility.

    I am so humbled.

    To every single person who donated every single dollar, thankyou from the bottom of my heart.

    The stress/pressure I have been feeling to help my Cora has been suffocating, and to know now that Cora can start the process of getting pain free and back to the park is more exciting than I can put into words.

    Every dollar counted towards that.

    I always believed in the kindness of strangers, but you have blown any expectations out of the water.

    Thank you, god bless, hugs, and sending you all good karma, good wishes ❤️❤️

  • Cora update. Bad news unfortunately

      20 March 2021

    So since I created this page things have worsened for Cora.

    Last night she collapsed and was unable to get up. We rushed her to the after hours vet and he informed us that her other back leg is now showing signs of damage in knee joint. This is due to the added stress being put on it for compensating for the bad leg.

    Due to this the vet stressed the urgency of Cora needing her surgery as soon as possible, to prevent both ending up blowing out.

    Seeing her collapse and in so much pain was absolutely heart breaking.

    The guilt I feel is something I can't describe.

    So, to all who have donated so far, thank you. I am in your debt. I have been blown away by people's kindness.
