Thanks Elaine! I will check it out. We have Auburn 3 hours away, but from the people I know who have gone there, I think that their prices are pretty high. Also, they do some of those horrible Iams lab experiements on dogs. I might check with University of GA.

Shari, I think that I would at least make an appt with the ortho to see what he thinks about both treatment options or he may come up with something else. You may want to check around and see if there is a veterinary teaching hospital in your area and make an appt for a consult there.
