Help Sadie Walk Pain-Free Again

Sadie, our sweet and gentle Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, has been battling severe luxating patella in both her hind legs since she was just 7 months old. At only 11 months, she underwent her first surgery. Her left leg was so damaged, the vet called it the worst case they’d ever seen.

Since then, Sadie has bravely endured multiple operations, countless vet visits, and over 6 months of strict crate rest, missing out on the joy of being a playful pup. Despite it all, her right leg remains at a serious grade 4, and her left leg is still at grade 2. She has lost significant muscle mass from being unable to move freely, and it breaks our hearts to see her struggle.

Sadie now needs invasive specialist surgery at Massey Vets in Palmerston North to give her a real shot at a pain-free future. She’ll require at least 12–16 more weeks of recovery and rehabilitation. Sadie is having that procedure done today (12/06/2025).

There is a high chance that this will also have to be done again on her left leg in the near future.
