We received a report about a young female stray dog that was hit by a car and broke both of her back legs. She was found by the staff of the petshop near Jalan Sulaman , Kota Kinabalu who made an effort to rescue the poor puppy and keep her safe in their shop while waiting for help.
Our team responded to this case and rescuer rushed to the location to take the puppy straight to Klinik haiwan & surgeri Tuaran for immediate treatment
Echo the dog was very lucky to have her life spared, but we were sad to found out that her X-ray result showed fractured bones on 3 places on both of her hind legs. In order to save her legs , vet decided to use the metal plates and screws for the internal fixation of the fractures.
The goal of fracture repair surgery is to put the bones back where they belong and to hold them there very rigidly until they heal. It usually takes 6-8 weeks for the body to knit the bones back together.
The surgery was succesfully done by the vet on the next day of her admission at the vet clinic. She has to take her pain medication and antibiotics for a week. We are hoping that there will be no complication from the surgery.
Total cost of the internal fixation surgery is in total of RM1550 and we in need of help from 1550 kind hearted animal lovers to donate RM1 per person so we can collect enough fund to pay for Echo's surgery and ward fees.
As an independent rescuer and shelter , we rely on donations to help offset the medical costs associated with rescuing at-risk animals. Please consider making a donation to help animals like this to get the second chance they deserve.
