Hello

I wrote the thread earlier about my dog having an acl tear in her leg. Since my only choices are to get rid of her or leave the leg untreated, I at least wanted to see if anyone knew of any vets that were low cost in the NY, NJ or CT area. The surgery for her was $3,000 for the first leg. If I can find a vet that will charge at least half of that, I will be able to keep my dog. If you have a vet let me know. Also I called the ASPCA in New York that are supposed to be low cost but they would not give me a phone estimate. I am finding this with most of the places I am calling. But I thought the ASPCA or Humane society was supposed to be a lot cheaper than private vets. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks
