Here's the latest medical information<FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#6600FF" FACE="Lucida Handwriting" >:</FONT></div> <bR> <div> Buddy's right leg was broken and never set. As a result it healed in a crooked position.</div> <div>  </div> <div> The orthopedic deformity of Buddy's left leg is due to a combination of things. First is poor breeding or genetics. Second is malnutrition. Third is being kept in a crate that was too small for his growing body. The combination of these factors caused one of the bones in Buddy's left leg to fuse too early. As a result the leg is severely deformed. Buddy also has mild orthopedic deformities of his ribs, sternum and rear legs.</div> <div>  </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  They  will have to break (actually cut) each leg in 2 or 3 places to straighten them out. Buddy will have to be hospitalized for 3-4 weeks while he recovers. Then he will have to have x-rays every 6 weeks until his legs have healed properly.</div> <bR> <div> The estimated cost of Buddy'streatment is $3,500-$4,000 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="36626700.jpg" border=0 width="550" height="368" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> Doesn't he look like the kind of boy who deserves a miracle???</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="36826700.jpg" border=0 width="550" height="368" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> He's  partway there, folks! </div> <div> Mid-America Basset Rescue and Western Tennessee Valley Basset Rescue are working together to get Buddy fixed-up. He is now being fostered by our pal Stacie at MABR, in preparation for his surgery.</div> <bR> <div> From these pictures,  you can see that Buddy's a happy boy, but there's <A HREF="id102.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Buddy 3">more</A></div> <div>  </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
