Unhappy Desperately seeking help for my reptile. Please help.

I have a 3 year old male chinese waterdragon.
He always has been in excellent shape and health.

Recently, he somehow broke his leg jumping around in his cage.
We were able to sacrifice the $260 to take him to a vet and get the leg splinted, but the leg became infected.
We brought him back to the vet, but now the vet is on holiday but the sub gave us antibiotics.
The swelling from the infection tightened his splint so badly, that all of his toes have died.
He now needs amputation of the toes and needs some serious intervention to keep the infection under control.

In 11 months our family will depart for Belize to be part of a missionary to build housing for a developing village. We have no money, my husband was laid off for the winter.

We need someone to take in Loki, get him the medical care he needs and to provide him a loving home.

We have called the Edmonton, Calgary and Alberta Reptile societies. We have called the spca and the aspca. We have called the edmonton valley zoo and the calgary zoo. We have called the reptile zoo in drumheller, and the underground zoo in west ed. mall. No one can help.

Please be the one to give Loki a chance.

It absolutly breaks my heart that we may have to euthanize a perfectly fine dragon just because we have no other options. We have no more $ and no more ideas.

We are in Edmonton.

Free bump to you. Please, if noone has contacted already, try and help out if you can. I would love to take it in myself but space does not allow me anymore pets til I get my cages built and I live in the states, which wouldn't work out. Those who live near them, please check the animal out. I would hate to see a perfectly healthy animal with a slight medical problem, be put down.

Bumping this again.

Its time for Loki to get his splint off, but we don't have the funds to take him in and get it done.
The infection is subsiding and hes doing a little better, but it will get serious if he doesnt get the dead toes amputated soon.

Won't someone please rescue this guy?

Hes such a great little buddy, very gentle and calm.
