Poor Daisy. She tore her ACL again. 4 years ago she completely tore her right ACL and this week she blew her left.
It cost me $3400 last time between diagnostic xrays and surgery. I called around and priced other specialist vets and I'm going to have to scrounge up the money for the same vet. They did a great job and I wont' need the pre-diagnosis exams. I was told today that its usual that the other leg goes shortly after the first.
One vet wanted - get this - $7000
Forget them. Rip off artists IMO.
I got the high end estimate at $2700 today. What really sucks is that I wont' have the money until tax time for this for her. I spoke for awhile with my vet today and he assured me that she should be OK as long as I take care of her until the surgery is done. He also said that sometimes they just irritate it greatly and it will settle down too, but I'll still need the surgery regardless. It's damaged and will continue to cause her issue. But at least I'm reassured that she'll be OK until we can do the op.
Poor Puddin' feels awful and it shows. She was carrying the leg for the last two days but today she's been putting weight on it. That tells me the ligament is still intact. A totally torn ligament will not hold the leg.
I was also informed this is very common in pit bulls. great.
That stupid ligament is the size of a staple.
