Squeak is a middle aged Maltese who ended up in the shelter system. A bung patella, bad teeth, and skin allergies left little hope...
Auckland
for a public adoption, so her keeper sent us a plea for help.
Heya. We have a middle aged female Maltese here who needs some vet work. Patella surgery, dental, possibly allergies (but could be poor diet/neglect related). Shes a nice little thing. We've had her groomed since the nice grooming lady offered to do a freebie. She needs xrays to be sure what's going on in her back end as seems to have pain in her hips too...but she wiggled too much for her to tell much from feel.
We're involved because the shelter contacted us for assistance.

Hi Chrissy
We would recommend doing a dental at a separate time to the orthopaedic surgery and it is beneficial to sort the teeth first
Pre-anaesthetic bloods $85.50
Dental $350-450
One patella $1400
Two patellas done at the same time $2200- It's better for healing to do them in two separate surgeries but will cost more (and means potentially having 3 anaesthetics)
Please let me know if you have any further questions
