...But hate the vet bills, She has been limoing now for about a week, just a little at first, but yesterday she couldnt even put her foot on the ground. Couple Xrays later, we find she has blown out her left hind knee. gonna be about 2k for surgery. In the meantime we had to order a brace for her which will be in in about two days which is another hundred bucks. All this six months after she has surgery on her right hind leg to remove a deeply enbedded splinter which got infected, totalled about 1k. Man this sucks, seven year old lab mix, lots of life left in her. Harder for me and my wife to say no to something like this, seeing how we cannot have kids, and The Dog is like one of the Family. Oh well, Its only money, cant take it with me, so might as well be something worthwhile
