Well Raustyk's limping has not gone away so off to the white coats, & yup a torn cruciate in her other leg. (she had one repaired in her other leg 3 years ago, almost exactly just a month shy). My vet is willing to work out a payment plan but I can not even afford that as they want $500 to $1000 down (depending on what surgical procedure I want). The total cost will be between about $1500-$4000. I feel so so so bad. My finances are so limited it is unbelievable & I owe on some past due bills that are necasary like heat & electric, I even had my cable turned off. I can afford it when my taxes come back but that will be AT LEAST 3-4 months. With all cruciates, arthritis sets in so the sooner its repaired the better so she will have quite an accumilation of arthritis by then. I feel so bad. Am I a bad owner? She is not overweight which helps some & I am limiting her excersize (which is hard to do). Unfortunatly I can not borrow money from anyone. Just want ot know if anyone else out there has waited that long to have a cruciate repair done?
