Please help save my little dog James leg.

$1,880 of $5,500 goal
Given by 15 generous donors in around 4 months

Desperately needing financial assistance to save my little dogs leg after neighbours dog charged into my home and savagely attacked him.

Wellington

My friends dog,a little shih tzu called James, was savagely attacked in his home by the next door neighbours pitbull. My friend also suffered injuries from the pitbull slamming the door into her but not to the extent of James.

James foot/leg is the worst of his injuries. Both bones have been broken and required a vet specialising in orthapedic surgery in Palmerston. James requires two operations and have been told it will be around 5 to 6 thousand. Follow up treatment will be twice weekly at first then weekly.

He is to stay caged for four and a half months for healing to take place.

More on James's progress - Nearly 6 weeks since he was attacked  26 December 2019

Merry Christmas Everyone!

We took James up to Massey Vet Hospital in Palmerston North last week for a check up. Unfortunately the bone hasn't knitted back enough to remove the pins. We now have to wait until late January to see if they can be removed then - fingers crossed.

Hope you all have a great New Years.

Again thank you for your love & support. xox
