We lost her at age 16 but her legs were perfect it was her mind that left her. My daughter npw works for our vet and she assissts in at least 4 ccl surgeries a week. She hears over and over how vets are chargin an arm and leg for this surgery. Many people opt to give up on their pet because of the cost the are quoted. Good luck with your decision. The first we talked took unnecesary blood work and xrays and told us we had to go to UBC for this, what a crock and money grab.
