Default DOG WITH TORN ACL's

I got back from the vet with one of my dogs. It seems while out hunting she tore her ACL's on both the left and right rear leg. She is a heck of a hunting dog but she is at least out for the season. She is 8 years old so still has 2 to 3 more seasons ahead of her. They gave me an estimate for surgery and I about choked.
Two ways to go one is at a cost of 5K the other is 10K. I just may retire her and let her live out her time in the back yard.
The other option I will try is a more natural approach using rehab, diet, supplements and possibly braces. I know we have a lot of dog knowledge on the Parker board. I am hoping you can share any of your experiences using a non evasive approach. Please feel free to share your comments here or PM me. All help is appreciated.
