Sometimes the pins migrate outward which is why it is sometimes cheaper. Sometimes they don't even have to be under anesthesia, just a sedative. Your dogs must be in deeper so they can't do that. |
Oh Ok, maybe Roxy's was really close to the surface. It did look like I could squeeze it out. She did start to limp, and the tell tale sign of pain...she started to "shiver" ALL the time, and she wasn't cold, she was hurting
But listen to Kellie, she works with an Ortho Surgeon, and it might be so costly b/c they have to go in deep as she says.
So sorry he has to go through more, but once this final pin removal and when he has completely healed, he'll be brand new, you will actually be able to see the difference in him from when he had LP to now it being fixed!
Keep us posted
