Lila's cancer story

This is my dad's dog, Lila. She was a strong, friendly, excitable dog until cancer took over her. She means the absolute world to our family, Lila has helped us all through hard times and now we need to help her. About a year ago Lila started to limp on her front leg, another dog had recently accidentally ran into her which is what we thought she was limping from, it carried on for a few months of her limping occasionally, but then it became more frequent. We took Lila to the vets and they said that she had damaged tissue so to have her rest and be careful on it. Lila stopped going up the stairs, she stopped going on long walks which has resulted in her becoming a lot weaker and less muscly, and she stopped being as active in general. Lila's leg continued to get worse so she had an MRI scan, which cost £1800 alone, and they found a cancer lump under her front right shoulder, we were devastated. The cancer was left undetected too long to cure and if it is not removed soon it could spread to her spine which would mean she has to be put down. Despite her leg being a hindrance to her, she is an all-round healthy dog and always has been, we just want to give her another chance. At the moment, Lila is mostly bed-bound, she doesn't move much unless she is going outside or being fed as she physically cannot stand on the leg, she is in lots of pain until she has her painkillers, and even then it still hurts her and we can't bare to see her this way anymore. To rid Lila of the cancer, we need to amputate her leg, but the operation is £3000 which is extremely out of our price range and the insurance company won't help to pay for it. All we want is for Lila to be her affectionate, cheerful self again. I understand that not everyone is a dog lover and that £3000 is a lot to raise but we strongly appreciate any donations at all, however small. Pease help us save our dog. Thank you.
