As long as it is something they can fix right, she is worth it. Just gotta consider how many years it gives her. Holley messed up something with her shoulder a while back. Doesn’t seem to be any pain. Walks and runs no problem,but takes stairs very slow and deliberate most of the time. So I think thats where she strained it and she remembers…. Also has a lump on her side. Vet never suggested to do anything about it. She is 8 now. We agreed we would only have something done if a definite fix. No heroics with the check book if they suggested cancer, etc.
