Torn ACL?
 

So the vet says it's not her luxating patella that is causing her limping but actually she has a torn ACL.

If you have read my other post you'd already know but I will put this out there for newcomers. Currently, I was declined by CareCredit. I don't know why, maybe it's because I am making TOO little money? But either way, it puts me out for surgical options...

I don't know what else there really is to do, she's on anti-inflammatories and pain med as a conservative measure but in 2 weeks we go back in to discuss further options, if there are any for me... I don't really know what to do or say. I'm at a loss because the more I read about the cruciate ligament issue the more depressed I get because it's obvious that she will need surgery to fix the ACL and probably LP while they're at it..

But I just don't have $2500. I might could do payment plan but the certified surgeon nearest me does no payment plan, just major credit cards and CareCredit only. What could I do?? I've searched before, high and low, for some sort of help. It was a bit easier in Florida since rescues and help was so common but here in GA it doesn't seem that there is much hope for me. *cries* That's about all I can do these days.

I'm sorry. Yes, it's true that if it is a torn CCL it will need surgery. Can you borrow from friends or family?

Unfortunately not, I live with my mom and she pays half rent. We are all in the same boat, paycheck-to-paycheck really. It's the only way I don't have eviction right now cuz I just am not making a lot of money for anything but it's pretty much the same with her. She has had the check engine light in her car but she cannot afford to take the car in to find out what's wrong. Just one of those things, you know?

Unfortunately I'm not close to other family and my dad isn't in any better situation although I don't know if he'd even help if I asked, he would say it's just a stupid animal :cry: but to me she's worth $1,000,000,000.00 but I just don't have it to give. If I could give her my leg to replace her ouchie one I would!
