We found out yesterday 6th March, that our rescue dog Jack, aged 10 in June, needs an operation for a fully broken cruciate ligament in his left leg, following a fall in the garden last week. . We have had Jack for 7 years and he has done extremely well after spending the first 3 years of his life in a cage which did damage his health. .We have already spent out £380 on initial exploration and tablets and yesterday £550 on x-rays and further vet consultation. The operation he needs plus further vet consultation, x-rays and then hydrotherapy is expected to come to roughly £3000.

Jack has no insurance because of his particular start in life and the amount of unknowns he came with and that's been fine - until now. It is a fully broken Cruciate ligament and so an operation is the only option for his quality of life.

Embarrassing as it is to ask for help - I am reaching out to see if you can feel it possible to help with the costs for this operation and make a contribution to the cost - no matter how small it is. My heartfelt thanks if you can make a donation. We are just awaiting the operation date which will be carried out by a specialist in Bristol and all updates will be communicated to any doners.

We lost an old dog of 15 who was put to sleep 3 weeks ago and our other rescue dog has cancer and is under treatment as well so this has come both as an Unexpected health issue and an unexpected cost at a time when our vet costs have already been high and are being paid in full.
