and Frankie's too... :)
OK, We just got back from our appointment.
We were there from 10 am until 1 pm.
They did an initial visit and consult and determined that yes, there was a problem.
They then sedated him and did x-rays.
Second consult an hour later ... confirmed that both knees are crap and that they've been crap since he was about 1 years old.
One is worse than the other. The left is a stage 4, the right leg is stage 3.
4 is the worse rating.
I was wrong about the cost. It's closer to 2K for one leg. It was either this dr. or take him to the university animal teaching hospital in Gainsville where a student would have done it for a little less. I think the choice was clear.
For now, we are having the right one done. It's not the worst one but it's the one giving him pain. The left one is so bad they want to wait and see if he is stable with the right before even considering touching it.
He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. I drop him off in the morning.
I'll have to leave him for the night and will get him back on Wednesday.
He's sleeping off the sedation from the x-rays now.
This is him a few minutes ago still groggy from the x-ray sedation.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes.
