Urgent! Little dog Luke from the resin needs help with operation!

Urgent! Little dog Luke from the resin needs help with operation!

A small dog named Luke from the Harz is the focus of an urgent action that touches the heart of many animal lovers. Luke suffers from a patella luxation, a painful dislocation of the kneecap, which can cause long-term joint damage. The little one was already operated on in Braunschweig, where the kneecap was successfully brought back and fixed. However, the challenges are far from overwhelmed because Luke tendons are severely shortened by the disease and have to rebuild what can be painful. The beginning of his physiotherapy is determined during a last check. It is even more important that another leg by Luke also has to be operated on - but the money is currently missing. Animal rights activists from Quedlinburg call up to donate to cover the veterinary costs. Interested parties can support those interested either by a bank transfer to the Harzsparkasse (IBAN: DE30 8105 2000 0361 0557 57, BIC: NOLADE21HRZ) or via PayPal (animal shelter.qlb.paypal@gmail.com) - Every euro counts.

But what exactly is patella liuxation? This disease is a common knee disease in dogs. It can arise both congenital and through movement accidents and mainly affects small breeds such as dwarf poodles and Yorkhire terrier, but even larger breeds such as roof dogs or chow chows are not immune. Symptoms include lame, a hopping gait and intermittent support leg lameness - signs that require immediate veterinary help. The diagnostic procedure includes a thorough examination of the joint and, if necessary, X -rays.

What comes after the operation

The future of Luke depends on the generosity of animal lovers. Each contribution is crucial to support the little fighter on his way back to health. We hope that Luke will soon be on his feet again and that a happy life can lead. The animal welfare community from Quedlinburg already thanks for any kind of support.
