I am just a mess... I just need some help and suggestions????

My Robbie (RIP) had Luxating Patella's on both his back legs and had them opperated on one at a time, they worked first time and once he got over the opp's never had any further problems. Only had to keep him around the house for about 2 weeks then short walks to gain his strength in his muscles. Had read a lot at the time about this problem but have never come across a possible ammputation!!. The opp's I think cost about ?800 for each leg.
Hope this helps.

P.S. The question mark always comes up when we put in the pound sigh means 800 pounds sterling.

I believe I read somewhere (here, yt???) that op is getting the surgery done. The cost is only $900, they have $600 and a family member is giving them the rest?! Hope I'm not confusing things, but since I'm basically confused, wouldn't be surprised.
