Welcome to YT! So glad you found us. I'm so sorry that Gidget is facing surgery. The good news is that there are a few AAI babies here who are doing very well now
I'd definitely contact your breeder, as this is a genetic condition (and so are the loose knees, or Luxating Patella),and Gidget's parents should NOT be bred again. Your health guarantee should also still be in effect for up to one year of age. Also, depending on what state you're in, the Puppy Lemon Law definitely applies here and between that and the health guarantee, you should receive some kind of compensation from the breeder which would help with the expense of both surgeries she'll need.
BIG hugs to you and your baby girl!!!!
