Dogsitting

After Serra heads home Maile will be arriving this weekend to stay with us for a couple weeks while she gets her knees fixed up. Her knees have pretty bad luxation so she needs surgery to fix that. The surgery carves a deeper groove for the knee cap to sit in and then sews up the ligaments to hold the knee cap in place better. Currently Maile is unable to put much weight on her right leg and we want to fix things up so she can be the active youngster she is without living with constant pain.

The good news is she has an adopter all ready for her once her surgery is complete so we'll just get her fixed up and send her on her way to her new life.

As you can imagine, surgery is expensive and New Rattitude is currently raising money to cover Maile's medical care. We know that she will need at least one knee repaired and the estimate for that with our rescue discount will be $900. We should know next week after radiographs and a surgical consult if she will need the second knee repaired as well. Any amount you can donate towards her surgery will help.
