I havent contacted the rescue place because I didnt want the rescue to think Im such a bad person to have had him only 2 months and he is now hurt. He jumped and fell on his leg and then was hopping on three legs. The Vet said it was an acl tear. I dont think he is a board surgeon? I am besides myself. I have another small dog and she is 3 and nothing like this happened to her.

I could just cry. This is so devistating to me. I have been reading on the internet that surgery isnt allways the answer. I dont want to put him through all this if it isnt necessary.
