Love

I have a 2nd opionion appointment on Tuesday 6/27. My regular Vet doesn't do that type of surgery. They sent me to an Ortho Specialist (Farmingdale) who wants approx. $3000.00 per leg. This next place was recommended by a very reputable animal/pet advocate. The specialty place is in Westbury - www.vetspecialist.com - they will talk to me about a few options: #1 To do a bilateral surgery (both rear legs during one visit) - Roxy will have to stay in the hospital longer, but at least she will only have to go through surgery and healing 1x (approx. $2500 - $3000) or #2 one leg at a time (approx. $2500 each).

So, I will let you know what we decided and how things go!

I wish Zoe and SPEEDY and SAFE recovery, best of luck and lots of love coming your way!
