Cooper Needs To Lose His Leg To Regain Mobility

Hi, I�m Cooper. If you don�t remember me or you haven�t heard my story yet, you can read how it started here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.678595915515480.1073742729.108625789179165&type=1

I arrived at Soi Dog after being hit by a car and picked up by animal rescue officer Khun Jaroon. The accident had fractured my leg quite badly and I had to have a cast fitted, which I really didn�t like, but the vets told me it would help me. I also had wounds on my hips, I was losing my hair and after examining me a bit more, the vets said I had a fungal infection. This was making me itch a lot but the vets needed to wait to treat it. They didn�t want to give me too much medicine at once as I was already on antibiotics and painkillers.

The vets made sure I got plenty of rest so that my leg had the best chance of healing. Then my fungal infection got treated and I was so happy when the itching stopped. When Dr Sai changes my cast, I try to use my leg while it�s off, but I am having problems. The vets now think that they might have to do something called an amputation. This means they will remove my bad leg so that I can run around properly using my three good legs. Even though I am a little bit scared, they have told me that they will make sure I am very asleep before they do this and that I will feel nothing. Best of all, I know that once it�s over, I will be able to live like a normal dog again.

Things could have ended very badly for me were it not for the Emergency Response Team. I know that every day, all over Phuket, other dogs have accidents or get sick and many of them don�t have anyone to care for them. That is why I would like to ask you to be there for them by joining the Emergency Response Team today. Please visit https://www.soidog.org/en/donate-today/ert/ert.html
