Buddy

A couple months ago Chad was playing catch with Buddy and Buddy hurt his leg and was hoping around on one leg for two months. Then last week we thought we would start playing catch with buddy again to get him some exercise...bad idea he hurt his other leg. So we decided to take him to the vet because he started just walking on his front two legs(it was crazy to see he looked like a circus dog) we felt so bad for him. We were hopeful that the Vet would have some answers for us. Well they told us that he tore both of his ACL(S) and that we would need to do surgury in both knees and it would cost anywhere from $1000-$1500 per knee. So unfortunatly we can't afford it so poor Buddy has to stay caged up for 4 to 6 weeks to hopefully have scar tissue build around the tear to heal it, they also gave us some pain pills and anti inflamatory pills. Buddy is only four years old I can't believe he has to live with this forever, it makes me sad because I won't be able to take him on runs or play catch or anything very active, and he is such an active dog. We love you Buddy get well soon:)
