Amputation is an option if you don't have the means to pay the high dollars for surgery. I know, I had to make that decision last year. Moses broke his leg after I had him 1 day. Plating and pinning was estimated at $3500; I did not have that, even though I got the Care Credit card. I could not afford the payments, so my beautiful puppy had to have his front leg amputated. It's always terrible to have to make a choice like that. but I made it knowing he would be able to have a full and functional life on 3 legs and he does. |
