OMG I am just crying I don't know what to do. Anyone else had this experiance? What should I do?  |
In 19 years of breeding I have had 3 broken legs, casting the leg does
not work because you need to immobilize the puppy. That means in a crate
and only out to poop and pee. We tried this on a puppy once and after 3
weeks we had to go in and do the extended fixator, 5000 dollars later she
still has her leg.
I am not a rich woman, I raised 3 sons after their father passed away on my
own but I found the money and I am still paying for it alone,cancelling my
trip I take every year to NY because the dogs come FIRST. It is no different
than children, you find the money if they break their leg, they are your
responsibility.
