My name is Loki and i need surgery to repair the cruciate ligament in both knees.
Wellington
Hi my name is Loki, I'm a 4 year old Staffy x Black Labrador. I love cuddles with my humans, playing tug of war, zooming around the yard and food. Boy do I love food!
A few weeks ago my legs got sore and I started walking funny so my human took me to the vet. I like the vet because they have treats! After many tests they said the news wasn't good.
I have bad hips, the onset of osteoarthritis in both knees, bad ligaments in both knees, muscle atrophy in one leg and I have a tear in the cruciate ligament in one knee. The vet said I need surgery before the ligament ruptures and I'll need the other knee done at some point too.
I don't know what any of this means but since the visit to the vet I'm no longer allowed to jump on the bed to snuggle with my human. I'm not allowed outside other than to go toilet on the lead. My human got me new food though which is great!
My human said today her insurance will pay for 50% as they can't determine if it's a pre-existing condition or not. That sounds good to me but she said at $4,500 per knee it's a lot less money for treats for me.
If you could please help out in any way to help me run around again my human, my family and I would be very grateful.
The funds raised will go towards my surgery and if there are any funds left over these will go to HUHANZ which is the rescue home my human got me from.
