Aw Seer...

I'm really sorry to hear what's happening, but also extremely happy. It sounds like he's making some real positive steps forward from the initial injury - and with the tlc you're providing hopefully he can make a full recovery. He's lucky he comes from such an attentive home

That $10k surgery just disgusts me...if you know any other vets ask/shop around. I was lucky enough to find a good vet years ago that very much puts the animals first over profit. Where other places wanted $1000 plus, they only charged a few hundred. Their demeanour towards the animals is truly caring to - so much so that the dogs still perk up and get excited when I say "vet time".

If there's one area where costs should be minimal, it's health care for all creatures - humans included lol.
