If he did these surgeries for free the vet would be losing out on lots of money. Its not just about the money but i think sometimes people forget that vets are trying to make a living too. most are in debt up to their eyeballs from paying for vet school.
Have you guys tried calling one of the rescues over here like united yorkie rescue or rescue me? Would a bigger organization have more money to help this little guy?
Another thing to consider is amputation. if you cannot afford to fix the leg perhaps you can see what the price would be for an amputation, usually they are much cheaper. The dog will adapt quite well and won't even notice after a few weeks. instead of putting the dog to sleep this is a much better option, IMO. |
Great post and good advise
