Some bad news for us.
Our little guy, a dachshund only five YO, has calcified discs in his neck and spine.
Surgery, if recommended by the vet will cost approx. $3500.
Wife is all teary.
I'm realistic.
I'd rather have a new, healthy pup for $600-$800-$1000-$1200 than a reconstructed Doxie who'll always have some degree of pain going forward.
I ain't hijacking this thread, but your pup sure makes me think thrice about surgery.
