    Hello

    Good Day,
     
    my name is Francine, and I am writing you because I am going through some problems with my dog.
    On January 1st, around 2:00am my puppy woke up limping, we took her to the emergency hospital, and the vet diagnosed it as being CCL ropture(Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture), she siad it is very coomon in large dogs, my dog is only 7 months, and I thought she was young to develop this so early. The vet told us to get a second opinion with an orthopedic doc, I am going to call tomorrow morning to make a appoitment. She said if it is CCL, it would be best for her to have surgery on both knees, so she could walk normal again.
    My problem is that I am not going to have the money necessery for this surgery, last year I rescued a puppy who was very sick and I spended a lot of money on him, but unfortunately he died, and I am still peying for the vet bills.
    Well, I would like to know from you guys, what is the best way to raise some money for her, I already put an add on craigslist, offering dog walking, car washing, etc. I sent an application to see if some fundraising group can help me. Please let me know what you guys do to raise money for the dogs that you rescue.
    What happened to my dog was something that happened out of nothing, and I just want her to walk normal like before, she is on medication right now, she started walking normal again, but it is because of ehat she is taking.
    Please Enlighten Me with suggestions.
    Thank YOu very much.
     
    Francine

    Hey.  Welcome to the board.  I see you have a few posts already but since you introduced yourself, I thought I would send a welcome. 
     
    I applaud your efforts to raise money for your dog.  I suppose it depends on what your are good at.  I would talk to the vet and see first off if there are some arrangements that can be made for payments.  I should imagine that if you have been making regular payments for your last dog, your vet should be willing to help you out in some way.  Also maybe you could volunteer your time in the vet office to help compensate...
