Hi everyone! Thank you all so much for all the support and donations, it really means a lot to us. Marley had her first appointment with the surgeon yesterday and we got some news to update everyone with. Since Marley's hip has not been taken care of for such a long time now, her bones have been grinding together. Because of that, Marley's chances for getting her hip wired or screwed back together successfully have dropped significantlly. Overall, her chances for having a successful surgery with wires or screws would be about 30%. The second option we would have is called a femoral head osteotomy. Basically, it is the removal of the “ball” part of the ball-and-socket that makes up the hip joint. This way, the bones no longer grind together causing Marley pain! We were so worried about Marley needing surgery but after her recovery she'll be pain free and better than before. Thank you all again so much, we'll keep you updated!!❤️ -Ashley & Amanda PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE #marleyandme #ilovemydog #puppies #beautiful #cute #gofundme #thankyou #germanshepard #dogs #dog #happy #surgery #protectouranimals #rescue #rescuedog #rescuepup #love #animals #foreverhome #makethisplaceyourhome #home #ventura #beachtown #sb #santabarbara #venturacounty #share
