Thank you again.
Well our vet called this morning and she definitely has a ruptured CCL and the recommendation is definitely another surgery.
The problem is whether we want to still get a second opinion or not. I am annoyed with our vet but I will give them credit for how good they were with Sophie after her knee surgery. We could go in for questions at no charge right until she was cleared at 6 months, and since I have anxiety I am comfortable enough with them.
They are bringing in a surgeon on Thursday for another dog and said that we could have it done for Sophie then, if we wanted to.
The reason I am hesitant to take her to the other vet now though is since we now have an estimate, I am really concerned about spending another $500 at the other place for new x-rays (they won't use her current ones) and consultations.
I really do not want to go through this recovery again, but every time I pick Sophie up and she gives me tons of kisses, I know I would do anything for her. |
