Veterinary costs appeal – Dudley
Dudley
Old Tyme Bulldog, Age 1
Dudley was just three months old when he arrived at Holly Hedge.
Sadly just after arrival, following multiple X-Rays of his knees and hips, Dudley was diagnosed with cruciate ligament disease. He was then referred to an orthopedic specialist and underwent cruciate ligament surgery on his left leg.
He will require ongoing physiotherapy and his right leg will need to be operated on in future as the disease can affect both knees.
Dudley is still a puppy and is full of energy and keeps his foster carers on their toes, he is now loving life in a home.
