[QUOTE="Dirty, post: 243690, member: 6535"] I had a lab who tore her ACL when she was 2 1/2 years old. This was in September 2006. I went ahead with TPLO surgery. The dog had to miss that hunting season but was all of 100% recovered once spring rolled around. I was told there was a good chance her 2nd one would go eventually. It finally did when she was 7 1/2. This was in October so she missed the rest of that hunting season too. But like before, by spring she was as spry as every. She had two more great hunting seasons after that before she died from cancer. The second time around, the procedure was about $2500. Tom Bettenhausen did both procedures. I'm glad I went ahead with it and I'd do it over and over again now that I personally have seen that they do fully recover. That, and a dog to me is just like one of my kids so I will always do whatever I can if the outcome is expected to be anything other than a miserable existence for the dog. Now, if it was a cat...
