Do you guys remember when I shared with you that Winston broke his foot? He needed expensive surgery. I found a wonderful vet who is performing his surgery today. I wrote to him and explained our situation. He is doing the surgery for one half the cost.. Around two thousand dollars. My family will be giving up all extras to pay for it..no eating out, no movies or cable, no newspaper, etc.., but all worth it to save our boy!

Best of luck to you all & Winston!
Yaaaaaaaaay! I remember reading your thread and I even brought it up to someone the other day. It’s great to hear that the vet is doing that for you guys! Good luck ;o)
Thats great!!! Hope all goes well! I’ll be thinking good thoughts!
That is wonderful! Hopefully all goes well and Winston is back to normal in no time!
Great!!! It’s good to know there are vets and animal owners out there who do what’s best for our furry friends. Hope all goes well!
I’m glad to hear you’re able to save him! :D
I am so glad to hear Winston has a bright future. I know your family must feel the sacrifice is worth it to save him. They give back so much!
You also bring up a good idea in these tough economic times. It does not ever hurt to ask for a break on the price.
Good news, indeed! Thanks for updating us.
The great thing is I never asked for a break. U just honestly wrote what happened and explained about the place this animal had earned in my family’s heart. He is such a sweetheart. I wish you all could come down here to Louisiana and meet my husband, daughter and to give Winnie a hug in person. As always , thanks so much Fluther family. You guys rock!
Best news I have heard all day. Keep us posted as we lurve Winnie too.
Whoohooo go Winston!! I knew he would make it through!!!! That brightened up my day.
@mzgator I am in Louisiana I wish I knew where you lived so I could see little Winston and you and your husband!
You rock too! Give Winston a pet for me!!!
Good luck to Winston!! :)
Update: Winston had his surgery. Doc called last night and said it was a success. Twelve weeks of hard recovery, plus another surgery some time after that to remove the plate he inserted to hold the repair as it heals. Weekly trips to the vet to monitor his progress. My hubs is picking him up today after work. We are happy again! Thanks guys!
Youre welcome give little Winston a lot of treats and love for me!!
Aw, so wonderful to hear! Hugs to all of you!
That’s great news! Go Winston!!!
Wonderful to hear the good news! Hugs to the family and lots of love to Winston! Let us know how he’s doing. :)
Yay Winnie! Definitely keep us updated!
