A young woman in Sydney, Estelle Jacquot, is facing a difficult situation after her beloved dog, Blaize, was involved in a tragic accident at a city park. Jacquot, a 26-year-old student, was out at a dog meet-up with her partner, Audrey, and their other dog, Bambi, when the incident occurred. They were at an unfenced dog park in Centennial Park on Sunday, and were getting ready to leave when suddenly, another dog appeared out of nowhere and ran past Blaize.
In an attempt to chase after the dog, Jacquot found herself in a terrifying situation. The park is situated right next to bike lanes, and unfortunately, as she was running, Blaize was accidentally run over by a cyclist. Jacquot yelled out for the cyclist to stop, but it was too late. Her poor six-month-old dachshund was hit by both wheels of the bike.
It all happened so fast, and there was no time to react. Jacquot explained that there is no blame on the cyclist's part, as it was simply a freak accident. However, the consequences of this incident are now weighing heavily on her and her partner. Blaize was rushed to the SASH vet in North Ryde, where she was given painkillers and underwent tests and X-rays.
The results were devastating. Blaize has a fracture in her spine and her spine has become misaligned. The hope is that with time, it will heal itself, but there is also a chance that she may need surgery. The surgery is risky and would cost up to $28,000, on top of the already hefty $10,000 bill for her current treatment. Jacquot expressed her concern, as the fracture is located close to her spinal cord and aortic valve, which could have fatal consequences if something were to go wrong.
Aside from the financial burden, Jacquot is also heartbroken over the whole situation. Blaize is only six months old, and the thought of her becoming paralyzed is heartbreaking. She never saw this coming, and it has been a shock for her and her partner. They are trying to stay positive and hope that Blaize will recover, but the reality is that they are struggling to cover the costs. Pet insurance will only cover a portion of the expenses, leaving them with a hefty bill to pay.
Despite the difficult circumstances, Jacquot doesn't hold any grudges towards the cyclist. She understands that it was an accident and knows that he must feel terrible about what happened. She also mentioned that they don't have his details and have no intention of pursuing him. Instead, she is focusing on raising funds to help cover the costs of Blaize's treatment. She has set up a fundraiser in hopes of reaching the $5,000 mark, which would greatly alleviate their financial burden. The support and generosity of others would mean the world to Jacquot and her partner, as they navigate this difficult time with their beloved pup.
