Three legged Rottweiler to be...

This wee baby Norman.

A fighter from day dot. He was born dead. Stuck in his mother's birth canal. Norman's mother was rushed to the vets where the vet had to pull Norm out and do mouth to mouth resuscitation. As the Vet pulled Norman out, his front right leg was impacted instantly resulting in it not growing correctly causing deformation, his leg is now 6cm shorter than his left. This has had a huge impact on Norman and his Mum Jamie. It is also causing all the trouble Norman is having with his leg. Norman has had splints to try and help his leg from just a week old, they helped, but not enough.

Norman is still a puppy only 7months old and he has already missed out on too much puppy fun, like going to the beach or river, playing fetch and normal daily walks which every puppy needs.

Norman went to the vets for Xrays today.

We have been given two options

1. Try and save Norman's leg resulting in surgery after surgery costing well over Tens of thousands of dollars which may not even benefit him or

2. Amputation.

As sad as the whole process will be. Norman will be having his leg amputated next week. Being a rottweiler and having his front leg amputated this will be a major journey for Norman and Jamie as dogs carry 70% of their weight on their front legs and Norm is going to be a big strong boy currently weighing 41kgs at 7 months old.

Jamie and Normy are about to go through this huge and scary, yet beautiful transformation.

I feel we can all do our part by banding together and donating whatever we feel to such a beautiful Norm.

20 cents or 20 dollars. It all counts and will be very much appreciated 💓
