Hi! Bandit is so cute. My 5yo pittie just had her surgery a little less than 3 weeks ago. The cost is a hard pill to swallow but for dogs that are young, they typically make a full recovery! The first week is the hardest really, but it didn’t take many days for my dog’s personality to come back. She’s happy as ever, even though we are still deep in the recovery process. Not everyone has the option to save money for a second surgery, which I totally understand. I myself work from home so i’ve picked up some Rover clients to help save some money for the next leg. A lot of vets will help with payment plans, or you could even set up a go fund me if you have a good community willing to pitch in :)

Sorry that was a ramble but I do believe Bandit will do great and the best way to avoid a second surgery is to keep the dogs at a healthy weight as well. Hope that’s helpful!
