Ariel 3rd surgery In December 2025, Ariel began limping again—this time on her front legs. The diagnosis was devastating: bilateral elbow dysplasia. She was in pain, and an urgent, life-changing third surgery was the only option to relieve it and give her a chance at a normal life.
Elbow Arthroscopy with Medial Coronoid Process Removal (Bilateral) is surgery used to treat elbow dysplasia. A small camera is inserted into both elbows, and damaged bone fragments causing pain are removed to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
On December 19, 2025, Ariel underwent surgery on both front legs. They removed 2 bone fragments from left and right legs. photos are attached under gofundme page.
The total cost of this surgery was $7,140. This entire amount was placed on a credit card, adding significant financial stress.
We fully covered Ariel’s first two surgeries ourselves when we were financially stable. Unfortunately, our situation changed drastically in October 2025, when my husband lost his job, cutting our household income by more than half.
We are completely committed to Ariel’s care—she is family. But we need help with this specific medical debt so her recovery is not overshadowed by overwhelming financial strain.
Any support, even sharing, truly means more than I can express. https://gofund.me/74ba905a4
