Help Zombie Zoom Again
Please help Zombie to zoom again - surgery for his knee ligaments
Taranaki
I'm hoping for some help towards a surgery that my 9yr old best-mate Zombie needs. He has had a pretty rough year.
He had surgery on his left leg in Aug 2020 (patella and ligaments). It healed up great, everything was going well, but in December Zombie started limping again - this time his right leg had gone!
In January, he had to get the same surgery on his right leg. Unfortunately, this one didn't seem to be healing like the other one, and Zombie has had many vet visits since. The Vet kept saying it was healing OK.... until the visit 2 weeks ago. Zombie had an x-ray, and a different vet told us that his ligament had gone as it wasn't "tied" in the January surgery. Unfortunately (again!) I still have to pay for another operation to fix the ligament.
I've spent 4k in the last 11 months on vet bills, and it's wiped out the savings. I love this little guy so much, he's a good boy and lives for zoomies and chasing balls. I'm not able to have kids, so Zombie is my family. Even though he has been on strict lead-only (3-legged) short walks, cage rest, and constant pain medicine for 6 months, he is still the happiest bestest boy. Please help me to help Zombie zoom again, any amount is hugely appreciated, I don't have all the words to say how much!

Good morning, just a quick update. Zombie is doing very well recovering as expected. Here is a photo of him the day after surgery. The fentanyl patch is now removed but the cone is on for two weeks so he doesn't lick the sutures off. His new nickname is cone head. He is on cage restrictions for a number of weeks and lead restrictions for a number of months.
