Buster is a rescued Boston Terrier/Australian Cattle Dog mix. He is
very loyal and always by our side. Buster is happiest chasing a ball,
frisbee, or stick (especially a stick!), and could do it all day long.
He is a great family dog and we love him dearly.
In the past, we noticed Buster not putting weight on his back
legs, especially after exercise, so we gave him rest and it seemed to
get better. Lately however, he has not been able to put weight on both
of his back legs, so we took him to the vet. Our local vet told us he
could have a problem with his knees or hips, and that he would need to
be sedated for an x-ray. We decided to take him for a second opinion,
and right away the second vet felt a torn ACL in both knees. No wonder
he's in pain. The vet recommends Lateral fabellotibial suture surgery
on both knees.
"An ACL injury is extremely painful and affected dogs
experience pain while simply walking. A tear or rupture leads to joint
swelling, pain and instability in the knee joint. If left untreated it
will cause lameness in the affected rear leg and, ultimately, chronic
irreversible degenerative joint changes. Damage to the ACL is a major
cause of progressive osteoarthritis in the knee joint of dogs. - See

We are trying to get him into surgery right away. Each knee will
be $2200, not including office visits, sedation, etc. Anything you can
do to help will mean the world to us. We want to get Buster off his
feet, and back on them again as soon as possible. He will have to be
immobilzed for two weeks and then have limited activity for another 3
months. He will be getting a lot of love and special care. Thank you
so much for your consideration.
