LU Fundrazr hasn't added a story.
Bruno was finally seen by the orthopaedic team at the Willows last week for a limp on his front right leg and it was revealed after a CT scan that he must have had a very bad injury on his shoulder which left him unable to walk properly. This would have happened many years ago, maybe as far as his puppyhood. The injury is extensive and he will need a shoulder fuse. A lifetime of pain is not what we wish for our dogs and we do not want to amputate if we can avoid it, especially not a front leg on a heavy dog.
Bruno rescued from the kill shelter
The Shoulder operation he needs is a rather complex one, which will take roughly 3 hours. Bruno will be in great hands with Toby Gemmill and his team, one of the best orthopaedic surgeons in Europe, something that is needed due to the complexity of the surgery. The outlook for Bruno is very good, with only a 10% chance of complications and if all goes to plan, he should be almost back to normal.
We need to raise £3600 to cover the cost of his operation,
which is already heavily discounted. We covered the CT scan he had
last week but really need your support to give Bruno the quality of
life he so deserves after all that he has been through.
Thank you so much for your kind generosity as always. We know
Bruno can count on you.
Bruno with us in March this year.
Bruno’s story
Bruno has had a terrible life to date and his journey has
really touched us all. He was rescued from the Stupini public shelter
4 years ago, at a time when local dog catchers at the pound were
killing hundreds of dogs a month in the most brutal way. He must have
seen so much and it left him terribly traumatised.
He spent the next four years in a state of fear and depression
at the Victory shelter and the staff did not have the resources to
help him come out of his shell.
He finally came to us in February of this year and thankfully
has responded very well to our rehabilitation program.
He is now a much more confident boy but he still has quite a
journey ahead of him. We hope that his shoulder operation will also
help him with his confidence and will should of course improve his
quality of life no end.
Please SHARE Bruno’s story and let’s get him better quickly.
THANK YOU
