A very very sad story..

Tamba is a 6 months old GR puppy who has found himself in rescue. He has serious hip dysplasia and other joint problems too in both legs.

He went in for an operation today but complications were found and a top specialist in the country has to be consulted. What the future holds for Tamba, no one knows at this point. As you can imagine the treatment costs will be immense if treatment is possible. £1000 has already been donated towards his vets bills. If anyone is interested in donating, please pm me for details of how to go about it.

This is Tamba *Warning* This video is quite upsetting

It is very sad, but his quality of life has to questioned. I hope the surgery will help him, he looks a delightful dog who deserves a chance.

What a lovely dog, that tail never stopped wagging despite his difficulties. he certainly deserves a chance and I hope the money can be found to give him a chance.

I am totally with you on that one.

I hope the response from the specialist is favourable and treatment and a subsequent good quality of life can be guarenteed for this super little chap

Okay finaly decided I can look at this and have to say it is heartbreaking. I have to also agree quality of life is like a piece of string. Everyone's view is different. I hope his life takes a turn for a better.

But is it preventable Fran what is wrong with him is it down to not doing health checks or taking note of health checks before breeding?
