We had speculated, worse case scenario ... LP in both legs ... it would be difficult but we could find a way to get what she needed. He said that in addition to her little feet being turned out at a 45 degree angle ... her little knees are too! The surgery is only a 50% chance of doing any good at all and it will require several surgeries all in all. He was very honest with us and said that when all is said and done ... it will probably cost us $15,000 to $20,000 for only a 50% chance that she can live a halfway normal life! Needless to say, we are stunned. I feel like I have a knife in my heart and all I can do is cry ... I feel so helpless! I had hoped that this morning I could feel better and think clearly, but I don't and I just can't! Dear God ... she's just a happy little baby and doesn't even realize that she is handicapped!! I'm sorry ... I just can't finish this ... I will try later ... please pray for us that we can make good decisions for her! |
o my i posted before I saw this
I am so sorry no little fur baby deserves this. But there are a lot of handicapped fur babies and often they dont realize that they are handicapped, maybe now the best thing to do is figure out the best way from her to navigate, perhaps a doggy wheelchair. Will this affect her life span>?
