Help DJ the greyhound with major vet costs after a freak accident.

Canterbury

Poor DJ the greyhound hit a tree head on running at full speed at home. He has been in after hours with spine swelling a few days and out to it on some heavy pain killers. After seeing the specialist they know there is a break, potential internal bleeding and no feeling in his front legs. Next is is CT Scan and an MRI hopefully tomorrow.

Tracey (DJs owner) is pretty devastated as you can imagine. A few years ago she reluctantly explored adopting a grey (My recommendation), she got DJ and instantly fell in love with him and the breed. So much so that her son applied to adopt only weeks later. Going forward a year, and both her and her son have two special Grey's each and have become huge lovers of the greyhound breed.

She is looking at some major costs and I would love to be able to help her out. Can you help her out too? The smallest donation would make the biggest difference.

Use of funds

Money will be spent of vet costs and any left over would go toward his ongoing care.

First Hydro Therapy   28 June 2022

Posted by: Tracey Steel

Hello Everyone,

DJ had his first hydro therapy session. It was a very gentle introduction for a boy who is not keen on water.

He did a great job and made us all proud again. He had a few little walks and together managed 75 metres at 1 and 1.5km an hour.

I was amazed how high he was able to lift his legs in the water.

Thank you all for your kindness and interest in DJ.

Tracey, DJ and Honey Patch!
