That won't work in my pup's case, unfortunately, and it sounds like surgery is the only option for yours...How many readers do you have, my friend? Probably at least 100, no? I'd be more than happy to send you $25 towards the surgery and I'd bet a lot of others would, too....may not cover the whole thing, but some....let us know!<br />Love,<br />MaddyMad Hatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262994711680542891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612802090292830580.post-35137838755822185882012-03-28T11:46:20.879-07:002012-03-28T11:46:20.879-07:00Oh, the money we owe.

How is her health otherwise? <br />One of my cats is almost 17 and clearly nearing the end, not much to do but watch and wait and help him get there comfortably when he can't eat or is in pain. Sucks. <br /><br />xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612802090292830580.post-26414213760999526842012-03-26T23:36:47.079-07:002012-03-26T23:36:47.079-07:00Emmie is just devine.

I'm sure she would have sat with you for as long as it took to bring you back after such an unspeakably terrible time for you. And you know what? She wouldn't expect anything in return, dogs are just absolute pure angels like that.<br /><br />How is it possible that doggies have a way of just melting all the crap away by giving us that look? I see it all the time in my pooch and I thank him for it, priceless.<br /><br />My best friend's dog had this exact same thing happen to him. They got it operated on a year ago (and swallowed the vets bill, what more could they do?) and he made a great recovery but unfortunatley has just done it again. It's really sad but they've decided that since he's still happy and the vet said he's not in any pain right now so they've decided not to operate on him again for now. he does limp like a mother f'r but he is very very happy and mobile still. They're treating him with some natural treatments to help lubricate his joints and keep him in good health. I'm not sure it would be my decision to do this, but if it really comes down to money (grrrr) then I guess this is an option to consider.<br /><br />Love to your Roccie, sorry i've been quiet. But I have been reading you as always.<br />xxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1612802090292830580.post-440361777222653082012-03-26T16:29:02.303-07:002012-03-26T16:29:02.303-07:00I had a roommate who had this done and her pup las...I had a roommate who had this done and her pup lasted into ripe old dog age with little signs she ever had a problem. I wish the money tree I planted had taken root as it was the frost of upcoming tax season that killed it beyond hope. <br /><br />I will wish a windfall that will help make this easier.

No choice as I knew I couldn't survive without her. The recovery was a bit rough as she was not allowed to do anything but hobble outside to pee for over a month. But after that you would never know she had a problem. I'm sure your pup will come through with flying colors.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03363407716857644014noreply@blogger.com
