A plea for help to pay for the operation to repair the front leg of this sweet little podenco. Here is the story of Pinocho.
Pinocho is a podenquito of two and a half years that was collected by the City of Tietar, a small town in the province of Cáceres, when he wandered through its streets. They put him in a kind of cuatucho where they kept the materials of the works and two volunteer girls were in charge of feeding him. A month later I was going to be sacrificed, so I brought it home.
They say that the podencos have very bad luck and adopt themselves worse than other dogs, and it must be true, because two months later Pinocho is still waiting for his definitive family.
Surely it is a discard of some hunter, because it came with a fracture in his right front leg. We have done two x-rays and it is a poorly welded fracture in which a misalignment has caused an angular deformity. The biomechanical forces are badly distributed and it is forcing the collateral ligaments of the carpus, that’s why it has pain.
It needs an osteotomy, align and fix with a plate with screws.
Only the operation costs 700 euros, not counting the X-ray that has to be repeated, the analytics that must also be done before surgery and the cage you will need for the post operative. In total about 800 euros.
We are going to operate in the Clinical Hospital of Cáceres (the veterinary school).
I will go up little things to sell and auction and everything I can think of to raise the maximum amount of money possible. If you want to donate something to make a doggie basket, you tell me and I pick it up.
I leave an account number in case you want to collaborate with a donation:
Liberbank. ES11 2048 1290 7530 0019 8002
We have Paypal: adopcionescaralapiz@gmail.com
Group teaming: Adoptions of Caralápiz and friends
Everything that is collected will be updated in the event.
For the rest, Pinocchio is up to date with everything. It is dewormed, vaccinated, chipado, tested and castrated. Ah! And looking forward to finding a family that loves him unconditionally!
