I decided to go for the surgery. It's a huge financial pill to swallow, especially in these times, and I can't really afford it, but I just couldn't give up on her yet. She's too young and too loyal. I'm sure this dog would give her life for me.

I just couldn't do it.



I just heard from the surgeon, and the operation went well. She will have to stay @ the clinic for 3-4 days, and then hopefully she can come home to fully recover.

We've given her the best chance possible. Now we have to wait and see

Hope the surgery results go well. I would do the same thing. My dogs are family.
