A Vertebrae, a leg, or a hip is usually 3000+.

My dog broke her leg and it was $4000+ once everything is said and done (surgery, X-rays, follow ups, meds, etc)

Expensive but worth it.

If a $50,000 or even $1,000,000 race horse blows out a leg, they put that nag down on the spot.
But if some house dog blows an ACL, folks miss trailer notes to try to treat it. Crazy.

When a racehorse can be a beloved constant companion, a loyal family member, and protect your home you will have a point.

My 6 year old blew her ACL about 4 months ago. She's fine now with no surgery. Upon examination the vet was pushing surgery the next day. I'd play "wait and see" for at least 6 to 8 weeks, then make the decision. Surgery would have been around $1,500.
ETA: Also research the subject heavily. There are numerous blogs that support the no-surgery route. I came to the conclusion that more harm could come from the surgery (my opinion). I didn't mind spending the money, but my dog hates the vet and is slow to recover from anesthesia, so researched a lot before my decision and decided to see what happened without surgery. She was also never in pain; limped a bit, but no whining / whimpering.

Yeah, and it's usual the lower class people that can least afford a $4,000 ACL surgery that get these operations for their dogs. Having a dog put down for this isn't cruel. It's not like the dog knows it's getting put down or feels pain.
My cat had a digestive ailment that required a painful, expensive ($3000) surgery that would have involved almost a year of recovery time/rehab. My vet was all, "If you have a savings account, now would be the time to cash it out." I was like, "Uh, it's a fricking cat. You're out of your damn mind." The family said our goodbyes and that was that.

Do not get an open surgery! Laparoscopic only!

We did the TPLO surgery on our big dog (70lbs) 2 years ago..$3K and was successful, vet was on Sherwood Forest Blvd. this was more expensive route but fast recovery and seemed better route for us.
