| BGSTR'S NEWEST RESCUE AMELLIA June 15, 2010 — This little girl was used as a breeder in a puppy mill, then dumped when no longer useful. Please click the link below to view her video (video shows her deformity) AMELLIA'S VIDEO She is 1- 2 yr old 7.5 lb Very sweet UPDATE: REPORT FROM SPECIALISTS Amellia was seen by the specialists this past week. After the Dr. conducted an exam and reviewed the x-rays, it was determined Amellia has severe deformity of the rear limbs. We have the option of surgical correction. This would include cutting of all soft tissue (muscles, tendons, and ligaments) from the bones, cutting the femur bone, in order to shorten it, repositioning the leg, reconstruction of the ligaments, and then reattaching all soft tissue back to the bones. The femur bone would need to be shortened because once the soft tissue is cut from the bones and the bone is repositioned, the soft tissue would not be long enough to reattach to the bone. The Dr. would use plates, screws, and wires to permanently hold the newly positioned bones in place. She would need multiple surgeries in order to complete the process. Furthermore, there is no guarantee of the outcome of any of the surgeries, as there are a host of complications and risks that could accompany the surgeries. After much thought for Amellia’s well being, it has been decided that we will not opt for the surgical procedures. The risks associated with the surgeries, not to mention the amount of pain she would have to endure for months, are too great and not worth the chance of placing Amellia in an inferior medical position. There are too many risks and complications that could arise from such complicated surgeries. An alternative to surgery is purchasing a cart, to provide Amellia with broader mobility. We will apply the donations received, to pay for her medical costs and to purchase a customized cart for Amellia. |
