I didn't know surgery was the only way to correct it. I went with what the vet told me, that either this or surgery can fix it. He said lots of dogs have gotten this cast done and have been successful so i am being hopeful and waiting the 6 weeks. we spent $3000 on that day alone, to get her the best help, i don't think i am being cruel by taking her to the vet and doing all i can. This was before i was able to come on here and speak with others about this condition. I have never even heard of this condition before this.  I am doing all i can for her, and have even taken off work to be with her. She has not been left alone at all. |
I didn't know that the cast alone could help, I thought it was a temporary measure until surgery could be done and it kept them from extreme pain. Anyways, I'm glad to hear that the cast alone might help, I guess you have six weeks to decide what to do next. I know this is hard for you, and it sounds like you are doing your best. I know you love your babies. Sending prayers and a hug.
