Ralphie it's surgery or euthanasia help please

On November 19th 2019, Ralphie was seen by BluePearl Veterinary Partners, where he was seen for a consult for major orthopedic surgery by Dr. Doornink. During this consult Dr. D confirmed that without surgery on both hind extremities, the only humane option would be humane euthanasia. Ralphie is a very sweet boy who was rescued in 2018 from extreme neglect and abuse.

Ralphie was rescued from GA high kill shelter. He was 5 months old and not even 3 lbs. While his siblings were nearly 6/7 times his size. 

The findings of the consult found the following. Ralphie was presented for evaluation of bilateral hindlimb lameness. Physical exam findings were consistent with bilateral medial patella luxation and suspected concurrent cranial cruciate ligament deficiency. It was difficult to assess for cranial drawer and tibial thrust accurately due to Ralphie's conformation, periarticular thickening, and medial patella luxation (particularly the left). It is recommended a staged medial patella luxation correction starting with the left side (+/- stifle stabilization via TPLO or TTTA). Typically surgical correction of medial patella luxation involves medial retinacular release, block trochleoplasty, lateral imbrication, and lateral tibial tuberosity transposition.

Ralphie is so completely loving and looks for Angel's to help save him. He wants hope and life. Please if you can give $5 

Without these surgeries to correct as much as possible the deformities caused by severe malnutrition and abuse early on in his little life, Ralphie will soon loose complete function of his hind legs and is in severe pain. He can hardly stand now. That pain will only continue to get worse. Estimated cost per surgery (One leg has to be done at a time) is $4000.00 plus the consult fee which is $200 for the exam, bloodwork and radiographs.


Please help us give Ralphie the life he deserves. This sweet boy has been through so much pain, heartache and despite it all has kept the most amazingly sweet disposition and continues to give out so much love.image
