Please Help Rinko Walk Again

My name is Rinko. You might remember me but if you haven�t met me yet, you can read my original story here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.692448367463568.1073742814.108625789179165&type=1

I came to the shelter after a lovely lady who has a friend working in Soi Dog spotted me by a beachside bar. The lady noticed that I was having problems walking on my back paws and she could see I was in a lot of pain. Animal Rescue Officer Khun Jaroon quickly came and got me and I was rushed to the clinic.

The vets there took a look at me and saw that there were some bad wounds on my back paws. They cleaned these up for me and gave me antibiotics to protect me from infection. Then they took an x-ray and saw that I had some old fractures which might be the reason I am having such problems with my back legs.

There is something wrong with the nerves in my paws, which means my feet will never work like those of a normal dog. The vets have decided that the only thing that will help is for me to have some special shoes made. If I get these, I will be able to stand and walk without any pain. These shoes will change my life.

I have been in a lot of pain for a long time but thanks to the Emergency Response Team, the end is in sight. What makes me sad is thinking about all the other dogs out there that won�t survive without you. Please sign up to help us by visiting https://www.soidog.org/en/donate-today/ert/ert.html
