He's humble about it and the show doesn't mention it, but Doctor Marchevsky and his team really are world-class healers. They have an incredible success rate for even the most challenging surgeries.

This makes my blood boil how someone could leave a puppy that long in pain is beyond me

I'm not normally a big fan of chihuahuas but little Lexi has such a lovely temperament that I could easily make an exception for her.

andrew is just a boss when it comes to surgery ! shoutout to him !

A lot of elderly people are so emotionally tied to their pets, they would be horrified & heartbroken at the suggestion that they give up a dog when it needs treatment they can't afford. The owner could have spent weeks trying to find the money, & finally realized it's not fair to the animal. Their emotional attachment keeps them from doing the best thing for the dog quickly, even though it's obvious to an outsider.

Lexi's new owner would love her whether she had 3 legs or 4. So glad she's found her forever home.

How on earth would anybody reject an adorable little pupper for having three legs?

You know how some dogs look like they just absolutely belong with their owners? That's how it is with Lexi and Melody, they are _perfect_ for one another. Congratulations, Melody, you got the dog that captured everyone's heart. ❤️

Thank god for caring rescue folks and vets. Its hard to believe all this cruelty and negligence. Andrew’s genius and dedication go a long way to giving me hope for the human condition.

I had this cat, not really feral, but he and a bunch of cats lived in an abandoned cellar at the rear of my home. He ‘allowed’ us to feed him on the back stoop for a few weeks, then he allowed us to let him in on cold nights. Finally he allowed us to pet him and moved in. Forward a couple of years, during a particularly cold winter (this is Maine) he developed a severe limp. He had always limped but this was severe. I took him to the vet where he was x-rayed. At first, as the doctor showed me his x-ray he had his back to me as he asked how long I had had him. When I explained he was a stray I’d taken in, he turned to look at me as he explained the picture. I think he was suspicious I might be the cause of his injuries. Chipper, we called him Chipper’s hip had been dislocated, the ball was fused above the socket and was surrounded by arthritis. Between the hip and knee was a 45 degree break, also filled in with calcium. Another break between the knee and ankle made the leg look like extra joints in every direction. The way it was bent inward made me think of a very heavy kick instead of a run in with a car bumper. Imagine the pain he suffered for how many years. Chipper was a total outdoor cat, he absolutely refused a litter box. He just hissed at it when I tried to get him to use it. I thought it might be the litter he objected to so I bought some potting soil. (Mid winter, remember). No go, so when he asked to go out I carried him down the stairs and waited for him to finish, then carried him back and laid him on a heated bed I’d made him. The rest of the years we had him he never had such a severe case of pain and we tried to make his senior years as comfortable and loved as we could. He eventually came to us to be held but not cuddled. Finally he went into the woods and never came back. I wish he had allowed us to hold his paw as he went into that dark night but he left us as quietly as he entered our lives. This was 40 years ago and I still wish I could get my hands (or boot) on whoever neglected him to such pain.

When I see this horrible diagnosis, it makes me sick. Beautiful puppy who has lived in pain for 6 weeks. I’m glad Andrew is doing the surgery.

She is so CUTE!!! Terrible story, almost half of her life was spent in pain, wonderful ending ❤️🇮🇹

This breaks my heart. One of my former neighbors never even bothered sending their new pup to the vet, after one of them accidentally broke their pup's leg. She had a permanently lame leg as a result. My heart goes out to the puppers. 😥

Little Lexi deserves all the love in the world! She is the cutest little bubba!

I’m so glad she found a new home with a tiny pack 🖤 Nothing makes me happier 🖤

I've seen a lot of showy, arrogant surgeons in my time, and Andrew is not one of them. His skill, compassion, talent, and heart shine through with every case. His quiet determination to do the best for every single one of his patients is evident, and he is just awesome. I hope he knows how much he is appreciated out here in social media land, because his fan base is large and passionate.

I am glad she got help.

This makes me madder than I have words for.

Heartless, how can someone be so heartless! Poor puppy! Thank God for Dr. Lisa!

I knew Dr Andrew would make Lexi's life better!!! He's an excellent surgeon!!! Wish he was somewhere in the states, I would beg, borrow or steal to have my furbaby cared for by him.....(well not steal) but that's how wonderful he is!!!

that's crazy, how do you wait 6 wks b4 realizing you can't afford vet care for her. Sheeshhh glad the vets were able to help the lil pup.

Lexi is so precious. What a great puppy

I’m so happy that the doctor was able to save her leg. She has a beautiful little personality and is as cute as can be. She’s very happy in her new home and her new owner can look after her and she wants to do all she can for her which is great!!👏🏻👏🏻🥰🐶💗🐶💗

That poor baby has been in pain for a third of her short life. Thanks to all parties for the care now.

What a sweet little girl Lexi is thank goodness she is fine now and she has got her fur ever home love and God's blessing to you all Lisa you are a charm 💕💕💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐕🐕🐕🐕

Poor lexi I’d have her in a heart beat she’s beautiful how could they leave her like this

I can never fathom why owners neglect to get urgent treatment for their pets. I’ve found several vets over the years who have been willing to meet me in the middle so to speak when it comes to paying for sudden urgent veterinary treatment. Because I obviously love my pets and desperately want to help them, the vet has usually allowed me to pay the bill in instalments. At the end of the day it’s the pets welfare that matters most. I’ve had the same vets for 30+ years now and I can’t fault their compassion for pets and their owners.❤️

So sad that the previous owner couldn't afford to look after Lexi anymore and fix the damage when it was first done. Lexi is a cute little puppy

Beautiful sweet girl, I’d love to own her. Let’s hope Andrew can and will make things better. He is a genius at his profession.

Be still my heart! She’s just too cute! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I wish veterinary care was less expensive. I understand that the vets, the staff and the hospital all need to make money but many owners can’t take their pets to the vet so the pet ends up in a lot of pain, has an incurable illness or needs to be surrendered. Many can’t take care of their own medical bills. I’ve spend thousands and thousands on my dogs and it’s not easy. I have insurance but it won’t cover pre existing conditions. So if you adopt a pet with pre existing conditions and you purchase insurance they won’t even be covered. It’s difficult all around

I trust Dr. Andrew! He can't be in better hands!

This poor pupper.. they look so sweet too

Aww poor little bean that leg looks sore thanks you so much for the love and care you give pets and homeless animals

Poor little girl. Dr. Andrew to the rescue.

Oh nooo, not a little chihuaua... oh my weakness... my heart... aaaah... I'm so glad she found a wonderful new home!

Thank goodness for Dr Andrew. It makes me so mad that people just adopt a dog or cat and think that’s the end of it. Vet care is a huge part of owning a pet. How irresponsible to allow that poor little dog go that long like that. If I add up all the monies we spent on our dog it would be close to 100k. All vet visits and a surgery to remove a tumor and her lung. That alone cost 12k Good luck Lexi

Andrew is a great person he will do all possible to help that little girl great team work ty for uploading.

Such a sweet little dog.

I feel so bad for that puppy's and I hope he is doing good

I’d love to adopt Lexi she’s so cute and sweet

So glad she got help.

Poor Lexie! Bless her and her rescuers!

My border collie rescue has 3 legs but he’s amazing at moving around:)

She's the size dog I want, I wish I could adopt her!!!

Omg, that poor little puppy I'm glad she has gotten a new home where she is loved. The previous owner I hope never gets another pet.

This poor pup has had this issue for 6 weeks?!?! And the owner did NOTHING to help her! If the owner was financially strapped, they should've given her up or tried to find a charity that could possibly help with the expenses. But there is NO EXCUSE for letting that poor girl be in pain for that long!

Poor puppy

Bless the human who likely loved her very much and surely struggled with surrendering her so she could get the care she needed❣️

What a pretty little girl!

You are fantastic. The skill and care you pour into very animal is priceless. Thank you for helping Lexi, it’s was a joy to watch.

Dr. Marchevsky is my favorite, and I love when he cameos in the newest seasons of Bondi Vet.

Glad to see the little Lexy is doing well and the Dr.s did a great job putting back together and she has a new home .

Andrews amazing. Best surgeon ever

Omg why is that thing so cute

Wish I didn't live so far away!!! I'd be taking this one home!!

If I were any of those vets, I'd have adopted her myself - what a cutie!

Such a sweetie. So glad 😀 she has a wonderful home and excellent care.

It's so awesome to see people like all of you who don't give up.

I wish I had that adorable little puppy Lexi is so cute and beautiful i wish you all the good luck Lexi in your new home 🏘️ and i hope your leg gets better soon and you can run around on all fours BIG THANK YOU to all the vet's and staff at the bondi vet's clinic you all do a fantastic job in helping all these dog's and cat's and not forgetting other animals if it wasn't for you and your staff they who'd be in alot of pain and suffering or even worse maybe have to be put down ..if it wasn't for you and not forgetting the way you handle the owners by putting their minds at ease..

Oh my gosh! How could people leave her like that! Some people should NEVER has animals! Thank God for BONDI!

Poor little lady. Was going to ask if I could adopt her.

people who cannot afford an animal should not have animals who harmed this animal

Poor pup

Good luck Lexi💖💖💞😍

Poor baby. It is so sad to leave a little pup in that state. They have such frail bones.

aww poor puppy i feel so so so so so so bad for her i hope her leg heels soon ok

I felt sorry for the puppy , but in time Hope she is able to keep her leg

this the most adorable Chihuahua i have ever seen....

I don't know what the animal cruelty laws are in Australia, but the previous owner needs to be fined heavily and jailed.

Tiny & beautiful baby puppy. Prayers for a great life. Thanks to all the vets for your time and expertise.

"every one who cuddles her falls in love". Well, I didn't even cuddle her, and I'm in love

Lexi is the perfect dog! I would love to adopt her but I’m in Canada. I would never stop cuddling her!

adorable little fur face

Wish we had a Bondi vet here for my fur babies Ellie, Mac and Annie all dachshunds, Shiloh a beagle, Moose and Cooper are Doxcles and Aspen a Chiweenie.

Wow that dogs really cute when she does this 🥺

I'm not a huge fan of chihuahuas but that is one cute pupper! Those ears!

hope she gets full use of the repaired joint.. her new mom looks like a classy lady

She is so cute and sweet

God gave you the gift Doc, he's your assistant, It's all up to you & FAITH ❤️ GOOD MAN DOC...WELL DONE MATE 59yrs old and had tears for this poor Pup, But Dr Andrew did Great job GOD BLESS YOU SIR

Dogs are absolutely amazing. Wow..she just was happy and limping along. Her cute little face she keeps looking down💕

The. Doctors will do their very best to help the dog 🐶

Dr Andrew is just brilliant.

Poor puppy!

It’s just sad to know that someone would do that

Way to go, Andrew!

It's not hard to rehome a 3 legged dog! Show me a one eyed, three legged, crooked tailed dog or cat, and I'll be the first one to take them. I love the "perfectly imperfect."

God bless everyone

Just watched this and it BOILED my blood to red raging bull level that the previous owner did nothing for 6 weeks!!! I wonder how this person would like to be left with a broken limb for weeks uncared for? They should be prosecuted, fined & jailed! In fact every person that does this sort of thing should be punished heavily (yes, I've said that) WHY take a pet if you can't care/provide for it?!?!?! Poor little Lexi. Thank God for all loving and caring people who helped her and she's got living new mummy now ❤️

She looks so happy with her new mom and siblings! 💙💙

Sweet girl looks similar to my sweet girl that sadly passed away about 2 months ago 💔 She was also a chihuahua (mix) with the exact same colored face (black n white). I miss my girl 😭😭

Our pup Wicket had a similar issue in his first year. We noticed he was limping one day and when we took him to the vet, they found out that he had a fracture close to his elbow that had healed poorly and pulling his elbow out of place like what you see here. Luckily, they were able to do a relatively simple procedure to move the elbow into the proper position and let it heal. Wicket’s leg is about an inch shorter now but we were informed that another surgery could fix that later down the line (he’s a bit too hyper now to safely get it done). I’m not sure how long his leg was originally broken, but the vet never let me feel bad for initially missing it. Dogs don’t always feel or show pain the same way humans do. We only thought something was up when we saw visible limping in him. In which case, we immediately made an appointment for him. I can’t imagine waiting six weeks on a limp.

Oh I would love to have that adorable little pup!

What a cutie - hope she goes to new forever home - I have a chiweenie- I feel so bad that some one did this

I wish I lived there I would love to have her she’s such a sweetheart!! How does someone not get their dog in to have the leg fixed?!!?! I don’t care if I had to give up a few things I would take care of my baby first!!!!! The pain that little sweetheart had to be in. My little guy has a bad knee on his back leg he was limping a little bit I took him to the vet his knee pops in and out so he had pain medicine we got him where he’s doing good now. Some people just shouldn’t be allowed to have a animal!!!!!

We had 2 of those choices with my husband's foot. Amputate, or try to fix. We went with try to fix and then if that didn't work, amputate. If you amputate first, there is no second option.

What a poor excuse of an owner

What a precious little dog Lexi is!!! I would have LOVED to have been able to take her! My Chihuahua Gypsy would have have loved to have her as a playmate! My daughter has a very tiny Chihuahua named Oliver, and Gypsy loves him to pieces!! Lexi would have been a wonderful addition. Oliver only comes over on the weekends, and Gypsy would love a permanent playmate❤❤❤

Àwwwww. Good on all you guys for caring so much. Poor little thing.

God bless you baby ❤️😘
