Maggie is a 8 month old Chihuahua in Yorkville, IL, who needs $1,600 for Leg Perthes Surgery.

Maggie Mae came into our lives not long after we lost our 16 yo chihuahua . We rescued her from a local rescue near home. She was my birthday gift. I was instantly in-love. Several months after Maggie entered our home, I noticed that she would yelp when her back legs were touched. I brought her in to have x-rays done & she was diagnosed with leg perthes disease. This will require surgery.

Leg parties is a rare disease that requires surgery. This is the only solution for Maggie's leg to heal and for her to not experience any more pain. She is a patient of Dr. Robbins at Sugar Grove Animal Hospital. After surgery, recovery time will be at least a month with some physical therapy. She is only 8 months old, so we are happy we discovered this early on.

Maggie is a sweet and energetic little pup who weighs in at a whopping 6 lbs. She loves to play w/her two older fur siblings and adores her 2 older human siblings. But her favorite thing to do is snuggle up next to mom under the covers. Maggie is spoiled & sleeps in a king bed every night. She loves to play fetch & go for walks. This surgery will help her get back to doing all the things she loves

This was an unexpected and expensive expense we were not prepared for. Any and all help is greatly appreciated to help Maggie run and play again. We know that with your support, Maggie will live a long a healthy life.
