We have an Airedale who tore one cruciate, and we went through all the options for treatment--it's agonizing, as I'm sure you know. <br /><br />Just as we had resigned ourselves to shelling out the big bucks for the TPLO, the dog went outside one morning, saw a squirrel, took off on his good leg, and tore that one, too. To make a long story short, we found a vet who specialized in the procedures and performed it frequently (very important), and he did both legs for us. And no, it was not buy one, get one free. HOWEVER. The recovery was very quick, and even now, 6 years later, we have had no other problems with the legs. Totally worth it. <br /><br />My best advice if you decide on surgery is to make sure you take the dog to a surgeon who is experienced in the procedure and performs it frequently. This makes the surgery faster, which (IMHO) leads to a faster recovery for the dog.<br /><br />Good luck!<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733647406717662733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310895659470299160.post-50316713421647657522011-09-06T14:57:38.648-05:002011-09-06T14:57:38.648-05:00I've only ever had cats so haven't gone th...I've only ever had cats so haven't gone through this, but I'll be praying for you and your doggie friend.
