This big man needs big help. Chief arrived in our care from our friends at the Canadian Animal Task Force, clearly in desperate need of help. He has a ruptured achilles tendon, causing severe pain and making it difficult for him to walk. After a thorough exam, our veterinarians discovered Chief also has hip dysplasia and arthritic changes in his back legs.
Due to his extra large size and the issues in his joints, we weren’t sure if Chief would be a good candidate for an amputation surgery. That much weight on already damaged joints could cause him even more pain. So, we started him on pain medications right away to keep him comfortable and sent his file over to a surgeon for a second opinion. After an in person consultation, the surgeon believes that with an achilles tendon repair and several months in a cast, this big sweet guy has a chance – so we’re going to take it.
Chief will need all the help he can get during his long recovery period. Can you show him that you’re in his corner by supporting his medical expenses?
