SOS (shelly olree's shelter) hasn't added a story.
Checkers and Jersey were found on a cold day last weekend. Checkers not using his front leg, Jersey not using his back. Both having infected wounds near the point of their lame legs. Finder suspecting they had been shot.
I drove an hour south of the SOS to get them and then drove nearly 2 hours from the finders home to the Huron vet clinic.
After examination, it still is unknown what caused the injuries. What we do know is they are both in very rough shape yet very sweet and nice boys. After xrays, it was clear to see, Chester's front right leg is broke. Snapped in 2. The choice is to put a plate in, running the risk of infections and the chance of complications, or amputate the leg. We have opted to have the leg removed. He is currently on 3 pain medications and an antibiotic, while we raise the much needed funds to save him.
Jersey is not using his rear left leg. After examination it was determined his knee is the issue. To best determine his need in medical care, he needs xrays as well.
The SOS currently does not have enough medical funds to cover his xrays as well as Checkers, as I already have an SOS on the surgery schedule this month for a dental requiring teeth removals.
Sadly, I had to make the determination who's injuries were most critical, and who to move forward with treatment. So Jersey is in line behind Checkers.
Checkers surgery for amputation is Tuesday November 19th. He will be neutered at that time as well. Just as soon as we raise enough to cover his expenses, and the extra needed to explore Jerseys medical needs, via xrays, we will have the testing done to see how we can best help him as well.
Please help the SOS get these boys the help needed to get them both on to better days and a better life.
Thank you my friends, rescue takes a village. And you people are all apart of the SOS's team.
