Trigger the beagle needs your help
Trigger, a seven month old purebred dwarf beagle, needs an expensive surgery on his front two legs before he turns eight months old.
"If he doesn't get the surgery, it's very likely that he will get arthritis at a super young age. He's already showing signs of discomfort and when he does run around, sometimes his paw gives out which is a sign of lameness," said Catherine Laforest, Trigger's owner.In the forearm region of a dog, there are two bones: the radius and ulna. According to Trigger's vet, Dr.
" can lead to one or more of the following: a short ulna, a bowed radius, a foot which turns/twists outwards from the level of the carpus , and an elbow joint which doesn't fit snugly and is said to be 'incongruent,'" he wrote in an email to Forester. The surgery involves removing a small section of the ulna bone below the elbow joint, which will allow the radius to grow straight without interference, he wrote.
It costs between $4600 and $5400, depending on estimates of injections and medications. Forester has been raising money through collecting bottles, selling her homemade quilts to family and friends, and collecting donations.
