 The day has come, unfortunately due to horrific breeders my beautiful 2 yr old nyah girl has luxating patella in both legs. This unables her to walk correctly, run, jump, play.. Getting in the car.. etc.. I hold her back legs up while walking up the stairs. This little girl is like my child, as anyone knows who has a pitbull they think they are humans. Nyah doesnt understand that her 20 yr old mother is broke and cannot afford to fix her legs at the moment like i would do for any other situation. The surgery is about 2,000 PER LEG. I cannot stand to see her suffer anymore or cry with her at night. I want to see her running and playing again, i know surgery is not a guarantee but im willing to do ANYTHING. I believe eventually i will have to get care credit in a year or two after i finish my car payment, i just hope by then its not too late. What im asking of anyone who reads this is to PLEASE let me know if you know of any vets who may do this pro bono since this peticular problem is only seen in small breed dogs. Maybe for experimental purpose or a vet who does it very cheap. I will drive anywhere to get this done for her, i live in georgia. If there is any advice i am greatly appreciative. For the things i have done for her, glucosamine/chondroiten supplement. Canidae food that has the GLu/Chon mixed in , Jm joint mobility food, i work at a vet and have put her in the hydro therapy tank, glu/chon treats and vitamin supplements, rimadyl, deramaxx, previcox, EVERYTHING. If anyone has a secret about something that works too, PLEASE PICK ME  I WANNA KNOW! Smiley Any advice is greatly appreciated thanks so much! _ nyah & liz _
