I got 2 quotes, 1 was $1600. and one was around $900. Well since I didn't like the breeder recommended vet (1600) I used a new vet that many people/friends use. I can't tell you what a wonderful experience I had. And the end cost was $832.00
They recommended walking as well once tyhe sutures are removed. A little bit at a time. But she already wants to go go go. And she has hip dysplasia on the other leg.
To answer an additional question, I realized something wasn't quite right with her leg on July 12 while on vacation. We got home on the 15th and that afternoon took her for x-rays. waited 2 weeks for the radiologist to read the films to confirm Legg-Perthes and then scheduled the surgery. By that point she already had NO muscle left in her leg. That went away fast. She had just turned 8 mos old when she first showed symptoms.
Good Luck. |
Thank you. I'm glad that she is doing well. I hope Levi does as well.
