They saved one of my rescues with LS that no other vet would even attempt surgery on.
Maybe he would be willing to release her to a member close to Knoxville who would be willing to pay for the surgery? I live close to Nashville but if I lived in Knoxville I would take her in a heart beat.

I agree... A lot of vets won't even attempt something like that because most vets don't have THAT much experience with it. But the doctors at UT really work miracles.
