Frida's new hip joint

Many thanks for your support, which meant we were able to complete the project successfully.
Project SummaryDue to a severe deformity, Frida is still in a lot of pain despite her first artificial hip joint. Therefore, the other side now also has to be replaced by an artificial joint. Help us to give Frida a pain-free life!

Background

Already at our first meeting Frida did not leave my side. It was immediately clear that she would find a home with me. Frida, who is now two years old, was found with her siblings in a rubbish bag by the side of the road in Romania and rescued. After four months, she came to me in Germany through an animal welfare organisation. Only a short time after her arrival she had more and more difficulties with walking until she could hardly stand up anymore. The vet diagnosed severe bilateral hip dysplasia. Hip dysplasia is a malformation of the hip joints. The head of the joint does not sit properly in the socket, which is why it often pops out. The cartilages rub against each other, which after some time destroys the natural shock-absorbing function of the cartilages and can lead to hip joint arthrosis. All this causes severe pain, depending on the load.

Idea

After the first operation did not achieve the expected result, Frida got an artificial hip joint in July last year. Since the deformity on the other side is also very severe and she therefore has a constant malposition/protective posture, she is still in a lot of pain. However, since her bones are very thin and conditions in general are very poor, a standard prosthesis cannot be used. Therefore, a custom joint made for her has to be inserted. Since I am a student, I unfortunately lack the means to help my beloved bitch.
Frida should now get a second artificial hip joint. Since she is only about two years old and still has her whole life ahead of her, this is a very important and also very relieving step for her as far as her pain is concerned.

Implementation

The operation is to be carried out in March at the animal hospital in Zurich, so we need support quickly. The doctors are currently in the process of evaluating the data for a hip that fits her and then making the new hip. The vet informed us that the cost of the operation will be CHF 6'500, which will probably have to be paid in April. If the donation target is reached, 10% will go to there-for-you.com, the remaining amount of CHF 7'200 will be used for the surgery and the check-up appointments, which have to be paid extra.
