We have a very special boy coming into rescue. His name is Forest Gimp and he is almost 6 weeks old. We are working with his breeder to find him a very special home, one where he can get the support and care he will need. You see, Forest’s back leg got wrapped up in utero and did not develop as it should. Because of this, it is stunted and the nerves to the leg did not properly develop. He has been to the ortho specialist and he will need to have the leg removed in a few months.
The veterinary specialist has quoted $2000 for his surgery. And we are working to find him the perfect home where he will be loved and cared for. Forest is our third tripawed boy, the other two came to us as adults that had been involved in vehicle accidents and lost their leg. Forest’s situation is different, this boy will need physical therapy and water therapy to ensure his other back leg does not become over taxed as his body grows and that he carries the weight correctly and does not injure his spine.
