Spartacus is my American Staffordshire (Pit Bull) Terrier Mix that
went lame in August 2013 when during an agility class he came off the
teeter obstacle incorrectly. He landed with his back legs stretched
out behind him and blew out his CCL ligament in his right knee. The
CCL in dogs is equivalent to a human's ACL.
Three different Veterinarians diagnosed him with 2 CCL injuries
(one to each of back legs). To be able to walk normally again, be pain
free, and hopefully continue on with his agility career, he requires a
surgery known as a TPLO procedure. The cost of surgery is
approximately $2,200 per leg depending on if there are complications
or not. Through other donations and fundraising events we have been
able to raise $915 bring the total amount we still need down to $1,285
for just the back right knee.
The surgery for Sparty is necessary because he is in a great
deal of pain which is currently being controlled with medication and
restricted activity. There are days that he has great difficulty
walking and this affects his quality of life. The prognosis for dogs
that have the TPLO surgery is very good. They are able to lead active,
happy and healthy lives. It is our hope that after surgery he can
return to agility, a sport that he really loves!
