Basil is a 4 year old Goat in Dixmont, ME, who needs $2,000 for Hind Leg Amputation.

Basil was living at another farm when I heard about him. His herd was attacked by a large wildcat. He was the only survivor. Basil's only injury was his broken leg.

He has had a broken leg for over 2 years from the incident. We tried ultrasonic therapy to make his cells proliferate in order to help him heal. It had some helpful effects but ultimately there has never been union between the broken bones. He lost a 1 inch bone shard that fell out in my hand the first time I unwrapped his splint to look at his leg. He needs surgery to amputate.

Basil follows us around the farm like a puppy dog. He always wants to know what you're doing. He wants to be petted and cuddled in the field. He never really seems to be in pain despite his leg. He just enjoys his life and has successfully made new goat kids despite his broken leg. Basil just wants a chance to live his life.

I got into a car accident recently and had to use my emergency fund to get a new car to go to work. I fell behind on all my bills because of that. Basil has had a broken leg for nearly 3 years and he needs this surgery to finally take care of his leg once and for all.
