Yaya is a 1 Year Old Miniature Schnauzer in Marengo, IN, Who Needs $7,000 for Orthopedic Surgery—Both Front Legs.

Yaya is a puppy (10 months) who came to us from a friend that has raised miniature schnauzer’s. He is normally full of energy, snuggles, and love. He’s a handsome chocolate color that loves his new kitten friend

Yaya tragically fell off our friends’ staircase and attempted to catch himself, resulting in breaking his two front legs. We took him to ER care immediately, and they splinted his legs and suggested we pursue orthopedic surgery. We did so, and it cost over $7K at Metropolitan Vetinary specialists in Louisville, KY. We have paid for the surgery with CareCredit, but will require subsequent visits.

Yaya loves all humans, but none quite like his mama. The fact that his mama couldn’t protect him from his fall has broken her heart. Yaya is just ready to be able to play with his kitten sister again!

This was a major financial burden that we did not expect. My husband and I are both educators. We have means to make ends meet, but not a ton of extra financial means for a surgery of $7K with extra appointments
