YESSENOW AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON WITH HIS OWN PRIVATE PRACTICE RIGHT HERE IN STRATFORD, CT NOT TOO FAR FROM ME ONLY ABOUT 20 MINUTES AWAY IS GOING TO DO CHARLIE'S SURGERY AND HE IS ONLY CHARGING ME 3K FOR BOTH LEGS AND HE IS ONLY ASKING FOR $1500 UP FRONT THE REST HE IS WILLING TO DO A PAYMENT PLAN FOR US, FINALLY A DOCTOR WHO IS ABOUT TAKING CARE OF ANIMALS AND NOT WORRYING ABOUT MONEY. I AM EXTRA HAPPY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I THOUGHT ABOUT GIVING MY BABY UP BUT THE MORE I THOUGHT ABOUT IT THE MORE I COULDN'T GIVE HIM UP, I'VE BEEN FIGHTING MYSELF OVER WHAT TO DO FOR MY BABY. I DEFINITELY HAVE TO SHOW MY APPRECIATION TO DR. YESSENOW SO IF ANYONE IS IN CT AND YOU NEED A VET NOT ONLY IS HE AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON BUT HE IS AN INTERNAL MEDICINE DOCTOR FOR VETS SO HE CAN TAKE CARE OF ALL YOU NEEDS HIS PRACTICE IS CALLED ORONOQUE ANIMAL HOSPITAL IN STRATFORD, CT, HIS WEBSITE TO HIS BUSINESS IS Oronoque Animal Hospital HE IS A GREAT DOCTOR I CAN'T BELIEVE THE COMPASSION HE HAS FOR ANIMALS, YOU SHOULD OF HEARD HIS MESSAGE, HE SAID CHARLIE IS IN GREAT PAIN AND HE WANTS TO FIX HIM RIGHT WAY, HE SAID MY BOY WAS ONE OF HIS BEST PATIENTS AS FAR AS HIS BEHAVIOR WAS CONCERNED AND THAT HE DESERVED TO FEEL BETTER. ISN'T THAT SOMETHING? NONE OF THE OTHER DOCTORS WHO SAW CHARLIE CARED ABOUT HIS CONDITION. SOMEONE WAS REALLY LOOKING OUT FOR US BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE I CONTACTED FOR HELP WITH CHARLIE.

How is Charlie? Did he get his surgery :(

Charlie will have his right leg done first and that is scheduled for Monday July 7th the doctor wants to give that leg time to heal and fully recover and then he will do the other leg, so right now we are aiming for an 8 week or sooner recovery, atleast that is what we hope for, but whenever he is fully recovered from the first operation we will go ahead and do the second I will keep you posted.

That's great. I am so happy for you and Charlie.

Charlie goes for his surgery this morning at 10:00 am. Pray for us everything comes out fine.:(

Charlie is in our prayers. :)

Praying for Charlie. Hope al goes well with his surgery.:aimeeyork

Prayers for you and for Charlie! I'm glad you found such a caring and understanding vet; he sounds like a jewel! Let us know how he's doing once the surgery's over!!! Good luck!

Saying a little prayer that Charlie did well this a.m. and one for you, too, 'cause I know how scary it can be. Let us know.:)

Sorry I didn't get back to everyone yesterday but I was too stressed out yesterday, I could not stop crying I was so depressed, I just felt so bad for my baby, he did well in the surgery everything looks good the doctor said everthing went well but Charlie had this look on his face like he was in so much pain and like he was mad at me or something for letting the Dr. Operate on him. He looked so sad in the face, I had to leave him with the vet, they are going to watch him for me for the first 10 days because I work and it's hard for me to watch him, and they are working with me on cost of keeping him, I stood with him until closing yesterday so I had no way of getting to a pc, I didnt' leave the vets office until 9pm. They close at 7pm but there are two vet techs that stay over night and I was allowed to stay until 9. I got out of work yesterday and went straight to the vets office today i will do the same, I have my best friend at my house watching my other babies and taking them out while I'm with charlie. I do have to say I'm extra depressed, seeing Charlie look so sad and just down is really bringing my spirits down, I know he will get better and he is in pain right now that should ease up soon but I am just so used to seeing him happy, hyper and ready to play he is just laying there looking at me he won't even wag his tail for me, I really do think he is upset with me.
