This fundraiser is to help pay the medical costs of Chance. Here is his story:
Chance came to 2PawsUp when he was just a 12 week old puppy after being found in a ditch by some kind people who contacted us. He adjusted well in his foster home and was adopted out once he was fully vetted. A few months into his new home, Chance began to have hip issues and it was determined he had hip dysplasia in both hips. His owners did their best to keep him but he also developed serious allergies, so he was returned to 2PawsUp.
Chance has stolen the heart of everyone he has met since he has returned to 2PawsUp. He is the sweetest and happiest little man and will just put his head in your lap and cry to show you how happy he is. It’s a shame he is only a little over a year old and in so much pain. We first took care of his allergies and he is now just on a high quality food and he is back on track.
His hips were not so easy to fix. After taking x-rays and sending them off for a specialist's opinion, it was determined Chance will need an FHO surgery (Femoral Head Ostectomy) because his hip is completely out of socket on one side, and the bone is attached to the muscle. We’ll just have to play it by ear on Chance's second hip as it is not well either. Luckily, Dr. Covington with Mitchell Mill Animal Hospital is able to give Chance the third chance he deserves and he is having his surgery Wednesday, January 27th.
Chance's surgery, recovery, laser therapy for immediate pain management, long-term monthly supplements, and his special food will be very expensive. We would like to raise $1,000 to help with initial expenses so any help is greatly appreciated.
