Abandoned puppy, born with paws facing backwards, needs surgery (Kelly Tan Juat Jong’s)

Kelly Tan and Jacinta Emmanuel come under our Food Fund. They both take care of a total of 118 dogs in Tanjong Rambutan and Ipoh.

Yesterday, Kelly (who only speaks Chinese and is not IT-literate) called to request help for an abandoned puppy (along with its sibling) who was left outside her door. This puppy’s hind legs are deformed in that the paws are “facing backwards”.

Kelly took the puppy to her regular vet in Ipoh and the vet estimates the surgery to correct this deformity to be RM3000 for each leg.

Kelly is requesting for funds. She knows it is not easy to raise RM6000 for both legs, so even if we can help raise RM3000, she will proceed with the surgery for one leg. She says hopefully, if one leg is done, she can at least “train” the puppy to walk on three legs.

Since Kelly cannot use email, she requested her friend to send the following to me:

请帮帮将要面对瘫痪的小狗

紧急!这两只小狗被人遗弃在aunty  kelly家门前,而aunty kelly是私人经营狗场的负责人.她忍不住心抱它们回家暂住,才发现其中一只后腿是残缺的.医生说它后腿天生反方向成长,一旦长大以后后腿就会负 荷不到身体的重量而遭成终生’瘫痪’.

对一只小狗要面对终生瘫痪的未来,实在太残酷了!因为医药 费非常昂贵大约需要马币6千多塊,所以希望爱护动物的你们可以帮助捐款或将小狗不幸的遭遇发送出去处让更多的人去帮助它.最后我要在这里感谢Dr.Chan的帮忙 .

Translation:

Please help this puppy. It may be paralysed for the rest of its life.

Urgent! These two puppies were abandoned at Auntie Kelly’s doorstep. Out of compassion, Auntie Kelly took these puppies in. Later, Auntie Kelly found out that the hind legs of one of the puppies are deformed. Vet’s dianogsis is the hind legs are deformed and pointing backward. When the puppy grows bigger, the hind legs will not be able to support its body’s weight and eventually become paralysed.

The estimated treatment expenses is RM6,000. I hope AnimalCare can help in raising fund or share the news to the public, hopefully the public can help this puppy.

Last but not least, I would like to thank you for your help.
