Patching Up Lexi - Donate Towards Life Saving Surgery

Patching up Lexi�������.

Please donate towards lifesaving surgery�������.

Lexi (originally called Patch) was adopted by Pat and Don Power in Vancouver, Canada from the Soi Dog Shelter in Phuket, Thailand. Lexi arrived at the shelter at 6 weeks old with a huge hole in her bottom and she spent several months in treatment.

Sadly Lexi was recently diagnosed with peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia, which is a serious condition and without surgery Lexi would not have survived. Lexi had her life saving surgery a few days ago and so far everything seems to be going well. We would like to help Pat and her family pay for this operation which cost in excess of $5000 and ultimately saved Lexi’s life.

This Facebook page is dedicated to Lexi. You can read updates from Pat regarding Lexi’s condition and also donate to her surgery. https://www.facebook.com/patchinguplexi

The operation confirmed part of her liver and intestines were in her pericardial sac and have now been moved to their correct position and the hernia repaired by a wonderful surgeon.

Pat and her family previously adopted long term resident Jumper from the Soi Dog shelter 6 months ago. Tragically Jumper passed away suddenly from an unknown liver problem. The grief and healing process was helped with the arrival of little Lexi. In a tragic turn of events, Lexi now needed this life saving operation. If you can contribute to help Pat and her family pay for this operation, we’d be most grateful. Lexi will hopefully now lead a long and happy life with her family.
