Hello all, my name is Tamara and im adopted my tripawd boy from the rspca in south australia in may last year. He was only a monthly post his amputation at 9 months old when i got him. His previous owner surrender him but didn’t not tell the rescue how he was hurt   Ever since he has amazed me every single day at the things he can do and how he never stops. Buddy is a kelpie x. Everything has been great until recently when I got his remaining front leg xrayed. I was given the heartbreaking news that his other leg has been damaged in the original accident of whatever has happened to him. Now i have to make a huge decision in regards to his future and im so torn about what to do. The vets want to fuse his remaining leg at the wrist joint to try and fix his remaining leg or we leave it and give him the best life we can but it might not be for long. Please dont judge but i just dont know what to do. Taking that flex away is a huge thing for a tripawd that loves to run and play. Any advice would be much appreciated. Buddy is my world, my best friend and my everything but im just not sure what to do 😢 thankyou in advance Tamara and Buddy
