| Damaged Ligament - surgery options
I have a (just turned) three year old female, that has just been x-rayed and been diagnosed with a damaged ligament (rear right leg).
My vet does the surgery (roughly 7 a year), but informed me that there is an orthapedic specialist (2hrs travel) that could also do the surgery.
They both offer different techniques. And my vet charges $700(canadian)
and she would stay for 2days, the orthapedic specialist charges $3000(canadian) plus travel costs and might require that my dog stay several more days then at my vets. (increasing the cost, depending on how long she would have to stay).
Now I have to decide which way to go. I'm just looking for abit of outside input, to help me make a more informed decision. |
