I called around and turned out my reg. vet did it all the time and charged around $800. Had the first one done in august and two weeks ago the other went. I messed up big time. Two days after his surgery I carefully tucked him into his soft crate which has zippered openings on two sides and 4 hrs. later I came home to check on him and he was running around the house. I found the side opening had been partially unzipped and even with the elizabethian collar on he got out. I take him in the morning to see the vet as although he treats the leg normal, I see and feel a hard thing on the leg below the knee and think its the screw. He mentioned back in august that about 30% have to be redone in some way as the screw moves and I believe the incident did it. Anyway, I'd do alot of calling around and find someone who does this surgery often and I think 750-1000 is about the range. Good Luck and do a better job than me taking care of your baby.
