Broken Knee
Hi everyone,
Something bad happened to my dog. The area right under her knee is broken :-( The vet says that it is fixable but the surgery cost is anywhere between 1800 - 2400, or I could choose to amputate that leg of hers for $950 (which I am not willing to). What type of surgery is this and they mentioned that there are several types of surgery for this and I wasn't sure what they talked about. They referred me to several other hospitals but has anyone here happened to have experience this? Any advice would be very much appreciated. -Worried one- |
Howdy Worried One,
My male Saluki broke his front leg just above the wrist. My vet did the Kershner(sp?=BF) procedure. 2 pins below the break in the bone and 2 above the break in the bone and all 4 pins attached to a metal plate that is about an inch away from the bone. Surgery cost about $950 USD. But with about 6 months of visits it ended up about $2500. My Guy is a competitive runner and is completely healed and is running like nothing happened. I just hope he can get through the running season healthy. Hope everything turns out ok for you. Frank X. Morris http://community.webtv.net/Sulkhalil/SalukiCornerChime |
