Save Rip’s Leg

My sweet pup Rip, has broken his femur and needs a plate to repair it. Rip is a young cowdog with a bright future and he loves working bulls. I have sold a horse for $850  to help pay for his surgery. The surgery to repair the leg is $1900. I was going to opt for a less expensive repair optionbut our Vet is not even sure she will be able to get the bones to line up in order to try an external fixation. At that point o would have to consider amputation. This dog has so much drive, I hate to think of him losing this back leg and not being able to do his job.
