my fie had both of his done,, 1500, and 850 is a good price i paid 3200.00 per side. i thought fife fell when he first started to limp then next day it was no better so off to the vet we went I was referd to univ of penn and you need 3 referals to see the ortho dept and it took 2 weeks to get an appt, but they kept him right from the appt, so in fifes case it was almost 3 weeks he used the leg on and off. they wanted to keep him 3 days at the end of the 2nd day they told me to come get him he would be better at home,,, he didnt love the cage, they also told me to keep him calm, I bought him a playpen to live in as soon as i turned my back he would climb
out. i did everything i could to keep him quiet but didnt work well. My ortho told me pt was a must, we did all the range of motion 3x a day and he swam for 40 min a day, he did very well, he was oly on pain meds for 3 days.
