The pictures where then converted into a 3D image and sent to a company in America where a replica bone model will be created in order to assist our surgeons with their major repair.<\/p>\n

You can see the extent of her deformity but it doesn’t stop Heidi taking an active role in the fundraising campaign to pay for her surgery.<\/p>\n

Heidi has settled well into her foster home and is enjoying having company and a routine. She is much calmer as a result.<\/p>\n

She loves her food and gobbles it up in seconds, likes to play with and cuddle up to Maya – they’ve become very close. She’d love to cuddle up to the cat too but gets too excited so she gets a bop on the nose by a cat paw for her efforts.<\/p>\n

This is a serious surgery, so Calder Vets are working alongside her foster home to raise the funds needed for Heidi\u2019s operation to ensure this sweet girl enjoys a better quality of life.<\/p>\n

Donations can be made either directly to\u00a0Calder Vets<\/a>\u00a0or through\u00a0Virgin Money Giving<\/a><\/p>\n
