Tofino is a 1 year old Siberian Husky with severe Hip Dysplasia. He was brought to Whistler Animals Galore where I was volunteering and fostering dogs with my boyfriend at the time. Since that fateful day he first came to our home we have been in love. Halfway through his first summer on Earth, we noticed that his back legs looked really really weak! We went to our pawesome vet at Eagleview Veterinary Hospital in Squamish, which led us down the rocky path to where we are today. Finding out that our beautifully tempered puppy has severe hip dysplasia, common in much much older dogs. Hip Dysplasia means his hip joints didn't fully develop, leaving him in constant pain and unable to do more than walk. The surgeries for hip replacement will be done at the Canada West Veterinary Specialists, one hip at a time, spanning over about a year with recovery time, and will cost approximately $16,000. Since his first hip replacement was unsuccessful, we've decided to try for the femoral head ostectomy on the other side as well. Because surgery didn't quite go as planned and the recovery time is much less we're scrambling to get the funds needed so soon. Recovery time for a femoral head ostectomy is only about a month compared to four months, but the cost is much less as well. It's just a more realistic goal for us. We are so thankful to WAG, PetSecure, Eagleview Vet, and Canada West Vet Specialists for everything they have done for us and Tofino. Any funds that we raise that exceed our own personal needs for Tofino will be donated to Whistler Animals Galore for all the dedicated work they do for the animals in the area!
