Help get Louis Back on His Paws!

    Our sincere gratitude to those who have donated to Loui's first medical costs.

    Unfortunately his left leg now requires the same surgery, which is not uncommon for Labradors. We now find ourselves having to find funds again for ACL surgery and ongoing strengthening treatments.

    Loui is otherwise fit and healthy. He is a well-known and loved member of the dog clan in our area and once he is through round 2 there is no reason why he will not live a full and happy life!

    Round 2 will cost upwards of $10,000, hopefully with no complications this time.

    Any contribution would be deeply appreciated.

    Deepest Thanks, Loui and John

  • Quick update re Louis

    Hi friends.

    Just a quick update for you. Unfortunately Louis recovery has taken a backward step.

    After more Xrays Louis is back on house arrest, and now on antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.

    By this time we had hoped he would be back walking in the forest and enjoying life but he is unable to put weight on his leg now.

    We are trying to keep positive, and any positive thoughts you can direct his way would be appreciated.

    We will keep you updated with his progress. Hopefully with good news!

    John and Louis managed a 10-minute walk today. Louis recovery has been very speedy. He has been the best boy in taking his meds and doing his physio.

    And yep...he needs a new pair of trousers!!

    Good news. Louis has now had his surgery. Yah!

    The vet said everything went well, and impressed them all so much they drew a picture of him on his meds bag!

    He is at home with John now resting up, taking it all in his stride.

    Thank you again for helping make this happen for him. :)

    Thank you so much for your support so far.

    The vet has advised that Louis have surgery within the next couple of weeks so if you could share this page it would be greatly appreciated.

    In the meantime here's a photo of Louis in his happy place.

    He has always been a socialite to both people and dogs alike!

    Your donations are going towards the health of a very special affectionate friend who is loved by many especially his best mate, Dad.

    We are humbled by your kindness so far. Much Aroha, Loui and J
