Just got back from the vet with Katie, my female Yorkie. She's been limping a few days and I realized there was probably something wrong with her knee rather than just a bruise or sprain.

Total for today and all that's involved with the surgery, cast, follow-up care, etc., will be over $1,200!! I'm still in shock. This is just really bad timing for my poor little girl to have such an injury. Don't even know how it happened.

Awwww Rhonda....very sorry to hear this. It is such a heartache when loved pets are in pain. What an ordeal for both of you...mentally, physically and financially.


Hope it all works out for both of you. Get well vibes for Katie. Hugs for you.
