Bella is my beautiful Tripawd dog, with her front limb missing. I rescued her whilst on holiday in Turkey at 4 weeks old, and had her flown back to the UK in December last year.

Bella is just over 1 years old, and despite only having 3 legs is full of life and the most loving and friendly dog!

Last Saturday whilst playing in the garden, she fell over and has broken one of her back legs...

When I got her to the vet they discovered that she had actually suffered a spiral fracture in addition to a broken Tibia.

Bella was in lots of pain and the vet suggested that the only option was to have her put to sleep. I would be devastated to lose Bella, so got a second opinion with some help from Fitzpatrick referrals and on Tuesday she was in surgery for several hours - resulting in many pins and plates in her leg.

Bella will need a lot of care plus rehabilitation when she is discharged - on Saturday!

Having already paid thousands of pounds for the operation and care she's receiving, I am in desperate need of some help to cover the on going costs until she is well again.

I'd be grateful for any donations no matter how big or small, so I can get her home where she belongs.
