Thank you for bumping this up......and..........I would like to say thank you for your donation yesterday! He's in surgery now and hopefully Ladyjane will be popping in for an update soon. But for now here is Rookie's story
October 14, 2009 - Rookie was seen by the orthopedic specialist today and was admitted for surgery tomorrow. Please help if you can.
The estimated cost of this surgical repair is $3,000.
October 13, 2009 - Well, for starters, I was hit by a car in March. The doctor fixed me up real good and put a pin in my leg. After my leg healed, the pin was taken out. My next tragedy was when I re-broke my leg in the very same place(possibly jumping off of a sofa) about a month or two ago. I have been holding my leg up and it has been dangling for about a month or more; and my owner said she could not afford to fix it again. So, you can imagine how excited I was when she turned me over to Yorkie Haven Rescue who immediately took me to a vet for an x-ray that confirmed that my leg is broken and the bone is rubbing against bone which is very painful; and I am finally on pain medicine.
Tomorrow, my foster mom, is taking me to a special doctor. She told me he's a wiz with legs and that if anyone can fix my leg it is him! I hope he can because I heard the other vet say that this is a bad thing since it has been so long. All I know, is I want to run and play like I did before without all of this horrible pain.
