We live in the Chicagoland area and prices with ortho specialist run anywhere from $1500.00 - $2000.00 per leg. She is also looking into Purdue and U of I.
Who both have Vet Ortho Clinics, is my understanding. Also a Veterinarian GP who has performed this operation hundreds of times is in our area. His cost is about half of the Ortho Specialists. I believe she is leaning towards him. I hope she just makes the right discission for poor little Vinnie's sake and I hope she makes it soon. He is not even playing any more with his little girlfriend Lacy. It is very sad. Thank you all for caring.
