Hello, my name is Merit and I am a 3 1/2 year old retired racing greyound.  I was adopted by my loving family one month ago.  Unfortunately, one week ago I was injured while doing what I love best.  I was running in my backyard and ended up with a compound fracture of the left rear leg.  I fractured the tibia and fibula and crushed my foot.  My family rushed me to the animal hospital who operated on me the next day.  I am now in a cast with a plate and screws.  I need to go back to the animal hospital every week to have the cast and dressing changed.  To date, my vet bills total over $3500 which has caused financial strain on my family.  I am hoping that you might be able to help out a bit.  If you could I would furr-ever love you for it and my adopted family would appreciate it from the bottom of their heart.

Update on Merit

Update posted by kcee56 at 01:14 pm

Merit is now in his third cast. Really getting to know his doctor pretty well. Gives him kisses when he sees him. Is allowed to put a bit of weight on his foot now but still needs to be kept kind of sedated so he stays calm.  Wound still oozing

  • I hope this is just a start. Hang in there guys. You are great parents and this puppy is SO lucky to have you fighting for him. I remember when you first started wanting to rescue a Greyhound and I am so glad that you are now in a place to do so. I wish I was in a position to give more. Especially considering the amount of money you've spent on me over the years. Please don't ever think I have forgotten about that or taken you for granted. You will always be my first 'in laws' lol!!!
