Cry Tatum needs surgery..

I cannot believe it. I am just bawling my eyes out as I type this. We just got back form the vet with Tatum. She has a Luxating Patella in both back legs and needs surgery. She is a grade 3-4. Her Patella was all the way popped out on her back left leg. She has been limping on it and she hops like a bunny when she walks. I told this vet this, he checked her out and right away he knew I just cannot believe it. My baby girl needs surgery. I am just shaking and scared to death. Surgery on each leg is going to be $1200.00

We found out that she also has allergies and is now on 2 different meds. Hydroxyzine and Clavamox. She must be bathed with Oatmeal shampoo and she also has to have Fish Oil put on her food every day, and is on Glyco Flex 2 Glucosamine for her Luxating Patella and will have to take them for the rest of her life. They gave her a shot of something, god I don't even know what my mind is just spinning right now. They did a skin scraping and taping around her nose/mouth where she has been losing hair and she doesn't have any mites or anything, but she does have an infection. (alopecia and pruitis) whatever that is

I don't even know what else to type anymore. I am just shaking and crying and have a splitting headache from all the crying and my head is just spinning..
