Coco-Chanel Rides Again!

Coco Rides Again! 

Coco has scoliosis of the spine and her two back legs were paralysed but sticking out stiffly at awkward angles.
As a result she couldn't even shuffle around using her front legs. She was pretty much immobile.
Our only option was a double amputation to at least let her move around on her own.
We were planning to do a fundraiser for her surgery costs but in response to our plea for volunteer vets, one vet from outside the province volunteered for ten days. They did coco's amputation and spayed and neutered all our older puppies.  This saved us over 100,000 pesos in vet costs.  The vet who came wants to remain anonymous so we will of course respect their wishes.  But please know that we are so incredibly grateful for your sacrifice.
Coco is now pretty much recovered from her surgery and went in her wheelchair again for the first time since her amputation.
She is such a delightful little girl, so full of joy!!
