[News Boquete] Samuel would like to walk on all four legs again. Can you help him?


SAMUEL NEEDS YOUR HELP!

On December 26, Samuel was rescued. He was walking on three legs with the fourth one infected. He was immediately taken to the vet for x-rays and a blood test. Both the two bones in his upper front leg were completely broken, the bones were infected and on top of that, he had early stage tick disease as well. Because the muscles in his upper arm and shoulder already shrunk to practically zero, the vet concluded that Samuel's bones were already broken quite a while ago (2-3 months). He must have been in a lot of pain during those months.

After about a month and a half of antibiotics, pain killers and disinfecting his infection has improved enough to have his operation, which will happen this Wednesday. His surgery is a costly one, because it is a complicated fracture which needs quite a lot of surgical steel pins and plates. 

Therefore, we are asking you to make a special donation towards Samuel's operation and recovery. Any amount you can donate, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU!

After his recovery he can be adopted and finally move to his new forever home with a loving family. He is a very sweet affectionate boy, between 1 and 1.5 years old, so he has a whole life ahead of him!
