Mouse is a Tia dog, rehomed just after the first lockdown in 2020. Unfortunately, she has recently become ill; she started with a fever, then began limping, and was hospitalised soon afterwards. She has since been treated for osteoarthritis, cellulitis and has had a quick-growing tumour removed from her back.
However, this left her with an unstable hock on her back right leg, which has greatly deteriorated, and she now needs surgery which will see a metal plate inserted into her leg in order to preserve its function.
Her owner Sue says: “I have already far exceeded the limit of £7,000 that I have on [Mouse’s] insurance, so I’m looking to see if I can raise some of the money to get her the surgery she needs. It has been a really hard decision to ask for money, but I am Mouse’s custodian so it is my job to do everything I can for her.”
