Her shing broke apart, and one part was still attached to her patella tendon so her quad wasn't working anymore...
So final cost was around $4000. Luckily, we had pet insurance because she is a bulldog and there are potential health problems. We pay about 50 dollars/month, with no questions asked they sent us a cheque for our max pay out for the year which was 2500.. SO that lessened the blow quite a bit, can't recommend the pet insurance enough!
I think it was like 400 to get her spayed.

Couldn't agree more on pet insurance. I have a daschund which are known to have back problems that can potentially run in the tens of thousands of dollars. I have a plan through pet secure that runs about 40 bucks a month and covers her up to $5000 per year, and has preventitive dental attached to it as well. It may seem like a lot now, but if you add up vet bills over the year, it isn't that bad for the piece of mind knowing your pet will get the best care no questions asked.
I do find it funny however that my dogs health care costs more than mine...LOL.
