Glad to read the post op stress,turned out well though. Yes,I am hardly getting any real sleep.We bought a soft crate but he doesn't like it,he isn't used to a crate. Today,he is fully alert and back to himself. So he was very anxious this morning,so I decided to let him out of the crate and...

Thanks both for your comments. We give our dogs probiotics and we got some plain yogurt for the Kong to freeze with bannana.to keep him busy,so we are both on the same page as you/thanks. My one vet gave me something called sucrafate(sp) to give him before his meds for his stomach and hour...

Great pics,I love dogs. More pics please.

My little guy looks terrified and somehat out of it.(anesthisia) He has to wear an ER,plus being in his soft cage isn't much fun. No where else to go but up!.

Hmm,new here,so no idea what your are all writing about. Ignorance is bliss? Sometimes for sure :-)

Our little guy had surgery today.(conventional typ) Surgery $2,600 with bloodwork,x-rays,medication. $170 for the soft crate from Petco. It will be $400 for water therapy once he is ready. 8 weeks of steady watching him. Priceless relief,knowing he is going to be alright/thinking positive...

For those who have had ACL surgery done,how much did the procedures cost.I am getting quoted $2,000+ for the conventional,my dog is only 20lbs and I have already spent,close to $500 on bloodwork and Xrays. I feel this is a lot but will pay it anyway,since I want my dog to get well. My thoughts...

That is great news.I am hoping I like this Vet and after the w/end,one chapter will be closing and another chapter to a good recovery,with post surgery care,will get us back our Boy. Thanks for the input.So many friendly people. I am driving myself bonkers,as you can see,I keep reading and...

Well I was reading late last night and I saw where one big Univeristy,preferred the conventional surgery over TPLO,TTA,which they thought was a riskier surgery and that a good surgeon and good post op care were the key to success of a repaired ACL. I have read of complications of post...

Cute/n/Fuzzy,I will go get some tomorrow and keep a good supply on hand. Don't ever stop posting.

I am so happy people do post here.This communication thing is great. So happy the conventional surgery went well for the Rotties. How old were they and how much did they weigh. Sorry,so many questions but I am a nervous wreck.

It is so good to have responses,I keep clicking on when I can. I am thinking more and more to go with the conventional surgery. I suppose the best thing,is the Vet and his expertise. I am sorry your dog suffers from the arthritis,what a thing to tell someone to wait until the leg worsens,he...

Lucky you to have so many Pets. Bordie Collies I have read are very intelleigent.My little guy is a smart dog too. I have two dogs,my injured dog,is a non stop guy,my little girl is a nap dog too. We go for a consult on Friday,hopefully we will find out more. Thanks again.

btw/I am opposed to annual vaccinations.I use Titers on my dogs.

Thanks for the responses.I am happy the TPLO was succesfull but our Mini Poodle is only 21lbs.I have to confess its lnk to osteosarcoma scares me and also the cutting of bone. I think we will go with the conventional treatment. Btw/why is your Vet advising you to go with the fishline...
