Update -unfortunately Coco has rupturing the ligament to her knee and meaning surgery is now urgent, her health is deteriorating.
Otago
Im Coco, 6 years old, with bung knees, my mum really needs help to be able to pay the mountaining vet bills, and medications.
She has already tried to help me with $3000 operation to fix my luxating knee cap, this was a big operation, with 6 weeks recovery, with very limited movement and should have made a big difference to my quality of life. Unfortunately the outcome wasn't perfect and meant the vet wanted to re operation to try and fix and wanted to charge another $1800 to do this and another $3000 to do the other knee while they are there. This was just not possible for my Mum on single income. She has been trying to save madly but is definitely not wanting to use the same vet. She has saved $400 so far, I have been coping ok on the operated knee, I'm a pretty happy wee thing, don't complain, just rest a lot, but Mum says I'm putting on weight which isn't good for my knees. My other knee is finally getting to the point where it needs operated on soon as I can only walk for a little while before I start limping a bit, but I really love to be outside running and playing so this is bit hard. If there is any way you may be able to help, so my Mum can arrange my second operation on my knee's, so that I can run, jump and play, running around the park with sister Honey again. Soon.
I would really love to help my little Coco to get back to her normal active self, with her limited activity she is putting on weight which make it worse for her knees, and she would really love to be able to run and chase her sister Honey around the park again soon. She needs a second operation on the original knee to try and fix that and the vet is advising her other knee is really getting to the point where it needs operated on too. Humanimals in Dunedin, they are great. They have quoted much more reasonable prices than the first vet and really want to help Coco to improve her long term quality of life.
