Help Emmy the corgi walk again
Help Emmy the corgi walk again is fundraising for Lifelong Animal Protection Charity
Poor little baby corgi Emmy is the sweetest, calmest, loveliest little girl. Because of careless inbreeding she was born with hip and leg deformities. She will go through many surgeries and physiotherapy on the long road of recovery. Will you help her try to walk again? Every little bit counts!
My Story
Corgi baby Emmy was born with a serious back leg and hips deformity.
She is an extra sweet, calm and patient, puppy, perhaps the type many people dream to own. Gets along well with dogs and cats at foster home
But casual inbreeding in the process of “producing” pure breed dogs for sale, might have caused her deformity, she lacked the NormaL curvature of a dogs back leg, her knee is as if twisted pointing back instead of front.
She walks like the Chinese Halloween vampire, hopping.
It might be ok for now, but not long after even her spine will hurt.
Vet n us all agreed to try surgery on her legs, but that will require physiotherapy right after, surgery turns the bone structure back to the right direction, but the whole muscle memory needs to learn and that requires consistent, daily if not hourly exercise, which our foster has been amazing in dedicating her time and effort in.
Even with everybody’s help, her surgery is costly, only the first surgery costed $35,241, and that’s only medical expense.
Physiotherapy expense will also be tens of thousand, as it won’t be sth 1 or 2 sessions can “cure”.
Fortunately in hk we have trusted animal physiotherapist, who is experienced and seen many bone surgery recovery patients.
She ensures we learn the bone structure, make sure everyone learnt the exercises correctly.
Road of recovery is still very long.
We can’t be sure if she can walk again, but we’ll try at least.
天生殘障的bb corgi Emmy, 她正在LAP待領養
性格特別乖巧，是很多人夢寐以求的小狗。
有耐性，痴人，淡定。
跟暫託家庭的貓狗也夾得很好。
也許是繁殖場配種時隨便近親繁殖，後腳deform 了，畸形的後腳沒有小狗應有的膝頭曲線，正常膝頭向前，但她的差不多是反過來向後。坐骨也不好。
她也能站起來走路，但就像萬聖節的疆屍一般，後腳硬着 跳；這樣暫時還可以，長久下去卻會連尾龍骨都變形。
她還很年輕，醫生說可以嘗試為她做手術；但做了一邊手術後也要立刻開始物理治療，讓肌肉記得這個本來應該要生長的方向。
除了見物理治療師其實也有賴厲害的暫託家人一天到晚在家中繼續幫她做這運動，也要用暖包、Assisi loop 等等。
雖然得到各方朋友們出力又借物資，但手術和物理治療都十分昂貴。
光是第一次手術已要$35,241, 而這也只是醫藥費，不計每隻動物都要運送，食用，而且我們已經沒有任何人工資出。
而物理治療費也會是以萬計的，因為不會是幾次就能完成的復康。但物理治療師也是陪伴過很多骨科手術康復中的動物復健的，總是耐心地確保每個人明白骨的結構和該動物面對的問題，看着我們學懂，沒有學錯回家要做的練習。
但康復的路還是很長很長。
醫生和物理治療師都不是完全有把握她會好起來，也兩手準備找來了輪椅給她作學行用。
