[QUOTE="Toby, post: 243683, member: 1509"] So, an update from the vet hospital after more xrays and such. Complete torn acl's in both back knees. They are recommending TPLO surgery because of his size, he normally weighs around 130 but is down to 110. He has started to develop mild arthritis but with the surgery they said that it would not progress. It is more expensive then the cost the 1st vet said of $1800 per leg. Since we already have $600 into tests and xrays me and my wife decided to get him the surgery at $2500 per leg, $5000...ouch. But they said this was the best and especially for his age he should be full functioning after. There was a cheaper surgery but that one looked like it wouldn't last at $1800 per leg. I never would have thought I would spend that kind of money on a dog but...grew him up from a little puppy and we have the money to do so so that was it. I didn't want to watch him suffer for a year and then be put down because that's what the vet said, that he would progressively get worse and worse until he couldn't walk anymore within a year or sooner. I feel that I am becoming soft as I get older :( [/QUOTE]
