| legg perthes disease ?? Surgery expensive Hello, My 11 month old female yorkie has this disease, she is small, less than 5 pounds. I can tell that she is in pain. I went to the vet and they said that they could do surgery that would cost $1,000 to $1,500. I do not have this type of money and was wondering if there are any organizations, vets that would do it for less or even any organizations that could help with the expenses. I live in Pennsylvania. thanks. |

| That is about right for the surgery. I have actually paid more with a board certified vet. This is a pretty commonly done surgery and they do recover quickly from it. You might want to apply for Care Credit, but you would need to go to a vet that participates. The nice thing about it is that often it is interest free for a period of time. There are organizations that help with vet bills.... http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...vet-bills.html If you pm me your email address, I can send you a list of organizations that I have that was compiled more recently.
