Michele thank you very much for doing the update, I have just got back from a trip to Cardiff, sadly didn't have time to get to go and see Tamba It was a down and back up within 24 hours and I have been home now for about an hour.
Tamba is doing absolutely great and I am sure he will continue to go from strength to strength He is one very very special boy
____________ Love from Joanne, Eliza, Keira and Lana XX
Tamba had his second operation on Thursday and we collected him from the vets on Friday. He is doing so well. Nothing can stop this boys tail wagging and even after such major surgery, Tamba still managed to try and eat the mail!! Again a huge thank you to the kind volunteers who practically gave up a whole day each to drop off and collect this special man. Fingers crossed for the rest of his recovery.

Tamba and all at Many Tears want to say a huge thank you to all that have helped him so far. Up to date Tamba's treatment has cost just under £1900 and this has only been possible thanks to the amazing support we have received especially that of Labrador Forums who have raised a tremendous £1000 to date and I believe they are still raising money.
Tamba's next stage of treatment will only be decided when his pain medication has been reduced. It will then be evident if he needs his next set of surgery in the near future. If he does not seem to be suffering the vet will re assess him at 18 mths old and then decide what to do with his hips. This means that if Tamba does not need surgery until he is 18mths old he will be able to go to a new home.
If Tamba needed more treatment in the future May Tears would cover the cost but only with our vet in mid Wales. This would mean that taking on Tamba could mean numerous trips to mid Wales when he was 18mths old. As Tamba has been living with me Sylvia has allowed me to list Tamba's needs.
This great boy will be looking for a home with another dog but as Tamba does not go up steps it would have to be a home where the dogs stay downstairs as it breaks his little heart not to be able to go somewhere his friends can go. He is a lovely friendly boy who needs an owner who is physically able to lift him into cars etc. We will be making Tamba's next video shortly to show how he is managing and what a super dog someone would be taking on.
Thanks again to all that have helped so far by helping towards his fund and in sending prayers and good thoughts his way.
