Thank you all for your responses. I do love my dog and would love to have her leg fixed but I just can't afford it. Thank you for pointing out that this breeder runs a puppy mill. I did not know much about Yorkies until AFTER I purchased mine and did more research. I used this breeder based off of a recommendation from someone who purchased their yorkie from her. I do not know if this person has had the same problems though. I'm just really angry that every time I turn around its something else. I used the Care Credit for her first surgery and am still paying that off. I can't just add 3k more to that. I looked on the sticky in this forum regarding lower costing vet care but all of those are income contingent and I make too much to qualify. I have pet insurance that I got a few months ago but her policy specifically states that for this type of injury you must have had the policy for a minimum of 12 months. I live in NY so I'm guessing everything is expensive here. If I found a vet that can do it for under 2k I would consider it. If anyone knows a cheaper vet then please let me know. You guys have always helped me in the past and I really regret that I did not find this site before I purchased my dog. I am going to do some online research on cheaper vets but also unfortunately look into some yorkie rescues to take her to. |
