Broken Foot.....sniff Hello All, I'm a newbie (a very sad one at that). One of our kitchen chairs tilted over this morning and landed on my poor baby's foot. I just got the call from the vet stating that all four metatarsals have been broken and are scattered in her foot. They put her under anesthesia and attempted as much as possible to put the bones back in place and has placed a splint on her foot. My vet is referring me to an ortho surgeon. Has anyone else gone through this? It goes without saying...how much I love her and of course I'd do anything necessary to get this fixes but I need to know if I'm going to have to take out a second mortgage on my home to pay for it, cuz it's already 1pm and the bank closes at 4. Any info would be greatly appreciate. :confused: |
I'm so sorry for your baby! I don't know what it costs - but I do know others here have dealt w/ breaks. Keep us posted on your pup. |
So sorry that your fur baby is hurt...hope for a speedy recovery. As for the financial part, that would probably be best addressed with your vet and/or specialist that he refers you to. Sending well wishes your way. Tammy |
I am soooooooooooo sorry to hear about your little one's poor wee foot! :( :( I do not have any experience with the $$$$ part of it but don't think you will need to take out a mortgage..........I'd use a credit card and then if it comes down to it.......get the second mortgage to pay off the credit card. I always get a zero balance on one of my credit cards just for such emergencies with my babies!!!! Hope all works out and the foot is okay with vet care! |
I first want to say WELCOME TO YT! I am very sorry to hear about your little angel. I hope that everything goes well for both of you. Good luck!!! |
Aww Welcome to YT . I am so sorry your baby got hurt. I don't know the cost but It sounds like she is in good hands with you :D |
Omgosh I'm SO SORRY !! man that had to hurt....I wish I had some advise but don't and just want to wish you all the best treating your little yorkies foot....Poor baby....Sending get well wishes to you from the Girls and I lots of vets will offer financing ....that's what my son did when his weiner dog ruptured a disk in his back - they had the funds in less than 2 hours with a co-signer |
Welcome to YT. That poor baby boy that must have really hurt. I just wanted to wish you good luck and hope your little one has a speedy recovery. |
that poor baby! Are you close to UPENN Veterinary School? They offer a wonderful Orthopaedic Clinic....I also have heard they offer their own financing if you need it. Good luck to you both! |
aww poor thing!!!! i will pray that your poor babys foot gets better soon!! welcome to YT!! |
This baby was droped off at the shelter when she was only 3 months old and with three broken toes. I got her out and gave her to a friend. If the bones aren't set exactly right, and they heal like that, the the toes sit at an angle. This is Libby in her cast. she had to wear it for 3 or 4 weeks.....I forget exactly how long. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...s8-9-06003.jpg |
Hello and welcome to YT, Im so sorry to hear your baby got hurt. I hope they can fix it and it heals for her soon. |
My Baby's Doing Well :D Thank you everyone for your well wishes. Isis's foot was placed in a very stylish hot pink splint yesterday...good enough to hold her until Monday morning, when she goes in for her surgery. You would have thought she was born with that thing. It hasn't stopped her a bit. She hasn't had much of an appetite since the accident, but I was thinking maybe it was the after effects from the anesthesia. She also isn't sleeping too well, but that's also understandable. She isn't doing much whimpering like she's in pain, so I'm not sure if I should be giving her the pain medicine or not. The bottle says to give it to her as needed. I'll keep everyone posted. Thx again. :love: |
