Just wanted to remind everyone that my vet clinic does NOT do ACL repair, if they did I don't doubt it would be more affordable; however they refer everyone to a specialist, or the nearest college. So, talking to my boss about making payments won't do much good.
I'm sure she'd adore it if I made random payments but it wouldn't be much help if I wasn't actually paying anything off, and I'd have even less for the surgery!
She's been in her little pen with a litter box since we found out. She doesn't limp anymore, not since the glucosamine supplement. But I'm not risking it. She 'snuck' out while I was cleaning out her box and ran around the room doing zoomies with no problem; but being the paranoid mother I am, I put her back immediately. :P No chances being taken here.. I know it can take weeks, even months AFTER the 'symptoms' cease before it can actually heal since dogs seem to disguise their pain fairly well; so we'll see what happens.
