Heard From the Vet

Well I heard from the vet and told her that he is doin a little better on the pain meds but he still limps and doens't put all his weight on his leg.  She is recommendin him to a specialist.  The office visit to this specialist is $75.00 and he will tell me whether he thinks surgery will be beneficial, if its our only route, if we have other options, or if it may heal on its own over time.  Surgery is $1000.00 for an ACL tear...so if surgery is our only option...I may have to think about gettin rid of him...I really hope it doesn't come to that though.  Cross your fingers.  I'm about to call the specialist and make an appointment.
