I have never met Sharon and that would be a face I couldn't forget.

LOL I look a "little " better than that. :)

Sorry to hear of the injuries...and your kitty :(

I would definitely look into having the surgery done in the US - I've found it to be significantly cheaper and the level of care outstanding. I am using a vet in Washington Twp, MI for some repro services at about 1/3 the cost of Guelph U.

Just be aware that according to the last border guard I got, vet services are considered subject to duty. Luckily the officer couldn't find the code in his computer and let me go.

The border guard has asked about the surgery and vet services but never made me pay the duty.

We've had two surgeries done down south and the CBSA could care less, waved us back thru.

Sharon, you know you always have my sympathy. That sucks.

Yes the young setter needs leg injury surgery.

The old setter still has a mass and a heart murmur.

The pup has embedded stitches that didn't dissolve from his neutering surgery. They have to be removed.

The cat died last week.

Sharon, I'm sorry for all your woes, dogs can be expensive, but always worth it. I always feel so lucky that these animals are willing to spend their lives with us.

Sorry to hear about the injury. I can recommend Dr Gary Bouck at http://www.londonvetsurgeon.ca/. Not sure how he would compare pricewise to the US options. I believe around $3000.
Some good information on braces and orthotics here. May be a good alternative for an older, less active dog

Goodluck!

Yes that is the surgeon I will be using. I think he's done about 1500 +. He did the dog's other leg and it turned out great.... $3500.00

Dog is still a great athlete and like to run miles several times a week. I'll be going for the "Cadillac" surgery. :)

( Fortunately I got back some big income tax bucks to day.)

PS Really appreciate your input.

I would expect in the $800 to 1,200 range if done in the states.
