Pets

We had that happen twice with one of our past Great Pyrenees. Very painful. One knee, then the other. I would have to look up whether the, "knee," is the same thing for cats and dogs? Dog's stifle is actually on their hind legs, and referred to as their knee because its the closest thing that compares to human anatomy.

Anyway, both of Bear's surgeries were quite successful. The GP vet went in and tied up the knee basically with fishing line. Cost: under $1,000 in Shelbyville, KY. If we had taken him to the Louisville specialist it would have been $3K.

We finally lost Bear to cancer though.
