Thank you for taking a second to look at this. My bear cub German Shepherd, Lyanna, has suffered a torn ligament in her knee. The surgeon says it's the equivalent to the human ACL and she needs a TPLO. The estimate for everything the surgeon is recommending is just under $8,700. Why am I asking for $9,500? Because the 10 week follow-up x-rays aren't included in the $8,700 estimate and I'm guessing how much more would cover that based on the radiology estimate I just got.

Lyanna is my best pal and deserves to be able to run, play, and bring as much joy to everyone else as she does to me. Any help is appreciated. If I somehow hit the $9,500 amount, any money that isn't used for the surgery or the recovery period would be used for any further medical needs she has (i.e. vaccines, medications, etc.)

If this was something I personally needed, I'd be too stubborn to ask for help. Lyanna deserves better than that. I had the consultation today (5/8) and they want to do surgery toward the end of the month. So I'm here.

Thank you if you got this far.

Update! 5/17 - found a surgeon who is doing it all for less than the initial consultation.
