Ned was brought in to Margaret Green Animal Rescue’s Lincoln Farm site,  near Bere Regis, as a stray.  Staff say he is a lovely, cheeky boy with a sweet nature. However, Ned has a bone problem which is affecting his quality of life.

 “Ned has short Ulnar syndrome, which is why he looked bow-legged and his front feet turn outwards say Helen Chittock, manager of the Lincoln Farm site.  “In severe cases, as with his front right leg, the elbow is also affected resulting in very limited motion and often severe arthritis.  The condition can be treated by an operation which cuts through the Ulna allowing it to fit back in position”. 

 “We  have consulted veterinary surgeons and this operation has a high success rate. It will alleviate the pain in the leg and restore the motion, greatly improving the dog’s quality of life". 

 It is thought may have been caused by an injury before he was at Lincoln Farm which has resulted in damage to the way the bone grows
