I had a GSP that this happened to probably close to 20 years ago. Surgery was $2K then. He recovered but didn't hunt again as his knee just couldn't take it The vet told me he would probably never hunt again but the option of doing nothing would probably lead to problems with the good leg as he would favor that one.
