[h=5]Intake bio[/h][FONT=&quot]At 5 months old Molly was diagnosed with some serious, congenital orthopedic problems with her back legs. She has grade IV/IV luxating knee cap on her right knee which has caused her femur bone to curve. Molly is not a normal, active puppy. She sits a lot and will pivot or drag her back end to get where she wants to go. She cannot jump.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Molly saw an orthopedic veterinarian this week. We strongly believe that surgery is the only option for her. They will have to cut her femur bone and straighten it with a plate and screws then deepen the groove so that her knee cap stays in place.
If we do not do surgery she will have chronic pain, early-onset arthritis and lose muscle and then probably rupture her ACL. It will also put more strain on her hips as well-which are already dysplastic. This will be a long treatment plan for her. This surgery will be her first but possibly not her last. Unfortunately her left knee is a grade III/IV also.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Molly is the sweetest girl ever and just wants to have the ability to move![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Please sponsor Molly! Her new knee is going to cost $4000! We need big sponsors. We need small sponsors. We need whatever you can spare![/FONT]
[h=5]Update (5/30/16)[/h][FONT=&quot]Molly’s surgery was done the beginning of April.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Molly had her 8 week orthopedic recheck at the end of May. Her knee has improved from a grade 4 to a grade 2. Unfortunately, this is as good as her knee is going to get. She’s got a cute swagger to her stride but doesn’t every bulldog? Molly is off officially off of medical hold and ready for a forever home![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]She’s definitely better than she was and we are thankful for all of her sponsors and doctors who helped getting her the surgery she needed.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Molly is only 9 months old. She is very active and has a lot of energy. She would be an ideal family pet. She loves kids. She loves other dogs but Molly thinks every dog is her best friend. It’s not a bad thing, she’s just silly. That can be a little overwhelming for some dogs. We will work hard to find the perfect forever home for Molly!
