I took her to the vet this morning and he told me she probably has a torn ACL and will probably need surgery. He gave her an anti-inflammatory and told me to call him Wednesday if she is not better. I can't imagine her being operated on. He said the operation is going to cost about $2000. Is that the going rate? I will do anything to make her feel more comfortable. I hope she is going to be ok. cry: |
That sounds soo high to me! I worked for a vet and he did alot of pins in legs and stuff like that and I never saw a bill that high!! I was the one who took the payments! LOL! I thought he was overpriced! I woudn't take the risk of going to a vet I didn't know but I would defenitely check around and with friends for other vets in the area and get some quotes! Hope your baby is better soon! BTW Welcome to Yorkietalk!!!
He should have taken X-rays!!
