Headrock Dogs Rescue Association hasn't added a story.
It's always heart-wrenching to see an animal in pain and in need of urgent medical attention. This is how we found Roxy who’d been hit by a car 24 hours before and was unable to walk. It left us bewildered and frustrated that the old monk who cares for Roxy hadn't reached out for help earlier when Roxy was clearly suffering
As we carefully picked Roxy up she let out agonizing screams of pain. We rushed her to our local vet, who, unfortunately, doesn't have the capability for x-rays. After examining her, he suspected Roxy's hip was either dislocated or broken and emphasized the urgency of getting an x-ray for a definitive diagnosis. He gave her several injections for pain and infection.
Early the next morning we set out on a 200-kilometer round trip to take Roxy to our emergency vet. Throughout the journey Roxy was remarkably calm, lying quietly in the back of the car despite her evident pain. We were hopeful that the vet's injections from yesterday were still providing some relief.
On arrival at the vet’s surgery Roxy was taken for x-rays. She cried out as they maneuvered her leg for the X-rays, which revealed distressing results. Not only had Roxy dislocated her hip, but her femur bone head was also broken, and her hip was fractured. The source of her agony was painfully apparent, and our hearts went out to her.
Roxy was promptly admitted where she underwent a comprehensive evaluation by the veterinarian. They needed to assess her blood work and vital signs to confirm her readiness for the surgery. Following this evaluation, a message informed us that the operation had been performed. Our thoughts were with Roxy for a successful surgery and a swift recovery.
During the surgery, a steel plate was inserted into Roxy's fractured hip, and her femur bone head was successfully repositioned into her hip joint. The veterinary team anticipated that Roxy would need to remain hospitalized for an additional week to ensure the procedure's success and provide her with the necessary post-operative care
This situation has put us in a tight spot financially. We're uncertain if our budget can cover the expensive medical treatment that Roxy has had, and we're concerned about our ability to meet this cost. We waiting for Roxy’s bill which we know from past bills, will be some $400.00 or 320.00 GBP, 370.00 Euros, 625.00 AUD. In these trying times, we humbly request your support. Any financial contribution you can make, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated to help alleviate our worry.
Your generosity can make a significant difference to our ability to care for Roxy with ongoing medication and treatment. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any assistance you can provide during this difficult time.
Your support means the world to Roxy and us during this challenging time."
