Adele needs our help, so we are reaching out for your help.🐾💕
As many of you are aware, Adele has been diagnosed with a rare incurable disease found in Border Collies called Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome which causes inflammation in her body. Her legs and feet haven't developed properly from birth. Her front feet are web like and weak at the joints which can make mobility difficult for her. Due to the disease, Adele is smaller than what a typical Border Collie would be, and is estimated to be about 20 months old now. She is also the only documented case of TNS in Canada.
We recently took Adele for a consult at Cedarview Animal Hospital where she was examined by specialist, Dr. Gumley. She was such a good girl at the appointment. We've included a few videos and picture of her at the consult.
We've been advised that laser therapy would help to reduce joint inflammation. When she has an inflammation flareup her temperature has gone to a potentially dangerous 40 degrees, so we are fundraising for laser treatments which are $90 per session.
Adele loves to go for walks and we want to continue helping her to do so without pain or discomfort.
We've also been advised to start her on a special motility and joint mobility prescription food which is $7.50 per can, or $94 per case of 12. The joint in her jaw has been inflamed and she's recently had difficulty chewing, so the canned food is easier for her. A can will last about 2 days at this time.
Any donation amount would be greatly appreciated. Every dollar helps to put towards a can of food or a laser treatment.
We have set up an account for her at Canada Helps called Adele's food and laser treatments.
