When he fell to the floor he yelped & howled like I have never heard him do before. I took him to the our vet ($200) for xrays (2 fractures), medicine, office visit & (because the doctor wasn't sure about the xray, she had to sent it out to a specialist $77). I called the specialist and it's $140 just for the office visit so I can imagine what the surgery will cost! Although the vet did give me a copy of the xray's, I'm sure I will not be able to afford the surgery.But I can't stand to see him hopping around on 3 legs, although he still is very active. Do you think he will heal properly? Should his leg be wrapped in a splint or something? Please help, I am so worried.
Hi, you really would get better advise if you started your own thread, people don't always read all the replies and might overlook your problem. Just go to the general discussions forum, or sick and emergency forum, and at the top of the page it says new thread, post your question there. Just wanted to tell you that fractures are very serious, and many vets have payment plans.
