Hey all,
My baby boy, Beaker, had a limp for a bit so we took him to EAAC last night. Dr. Jordan (I
her!) has determined that my boy has torn his CCL and needs surgery.... the sooner, the better.
For those of you who know, I work at LifeLine in College Park, an awesome non-profit, low-cost spay/neuter clinic. However, it is a non-profit which means that my paycheck isn't going to cover his necessary $2500 surgery at GVS or another area specialist.
So, who has experienced CCL surgery with their dog? Could you offer recommendations of low-cost specialists that I could get in touch with, or clinics that may at least offer me a payment plan option? Obviously, I'm sort of freaking out since I know Beaker is in pain and I want to get this done sooner than later.
Also, if anyone has a large dog crate that I could borrow (Beaker is an 80lb American Bulldog), we gave his away when we moved down here assuming we wouldn't need it anymore. Another
I know that between now and surgery time, the calmer he is, the better. A crate is the only thing that's going to prevent him from playing with Go Sox's dogs!
All of your help will be so greatly appreciated! You can e.mail me at

Thank you!
