URGENT Help Needed For Wembley!

This little guy has a heartbreaking story. The Village brought him in this week. He is a 5 year old, neutered male French Bulldog that was found in a ditch after being hit by a car.  Before we found out about him, he had been in a shelter,without medical treatment for almost a week. He has a shattered leg and multiple fractures of the pelvis.

Wembley was looked at today by an Orthopedic Surgeon. This poor little guy is very beat up and is going to require a very complicated surgery. Given his fractures, his vet has recommended against amputating his rear limb. Due to his contralateral pelvic fractures, the surgeon said that Wembley would be very challenged to recover from an amputation, without his right leg to support him.

This is actually both good news and bad news. Wembley will keep his leg, but it means that his surgery and recovery will be very complicated. Wembley will need an open reduction/ internal fixation of right his acetabular fracture. An ORIF involves the implementation of implants to guide the healing process of a bone, as well as the open reduction, or setting, of the bone itself. As part of that process, if the acetabulum cannot be anatomically reconstructed – he may also need FHO. A femoral head ostectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the head and neck from the femur. He will also need an ORIF of the right tibia and fibula fractures and the left ilial body fracture.

All of this will come at a very high cost. The surgery will cost around $5,000 and his after care recovery costs will amount to another $2,000. We really need your support. His surgery will be scheduled for early next week. Please keep Wembley in your thoughts and prayers and please, please give what you can – so that we can get this boy the care that he needs.
