[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 252636, member: 84"] Will your vet let you make payments? Is there another way to treat the leg? I'm asking because you don't have the cash and arthritis may set in anyway. And at 8, honestly, it's not going to be all that long before arthritis would get her even without an injury. Eight is fairly old for a dog, especially the medication-large breeds. Our dog Molly (my perfect girl) already has pretty bad arthritis and is also over weight. (she loses it every summer) Nichole got growled at during the last bath cuz she scrubbed a bit too hard around the sore hip. Must have hurt like the devil for Molly to growl.......she's never growled in her life at one of us, and normally wouldn't dream to do it to her fav person Nichole. My heart goes out to you. So far Molly is doing ok and doesn't need medications. If she gets to the point of needing medications before I've got my nursing degree.......well, we just can't afford it. Otherwise I'll have to weight the benefit against the cost. Problem is with chloe, you run the risk of the same injury again, maybe in the other leg, or even same leg at a later time. In people this type of injury heals ok by itself given rest and time. I'd imagine if you kept chloe on limited activity hers would do the same. But you'd have to ask the vet. Saying a prayer for your furbaby tonight. Poor sweet girl. Hugs [/QUOTE]
