Pixie's was 2300.00 plus 350.00 the week before for the er visit and Xrays. I think that is on the high end. Pixie had her knee cap re grooved, the bone cut and moved over and a stitch to hold a ligament in place. I was expecting it to be more like 1500.00. I hope Max can avoid surgery. Did your vet advise you to give him glucosamine supplements and keep his weight down and limit his jumping? All of those things can help.
