Default Surgery for Jolie

Well it seems another bad luck has beset my dog, She was limping before I went to Houston took her for xrays could not find anything, got back took her again for mor X-rays nothing, finally took her to an orthopedic specialist today acl and the meniscus both torn, she went into surgery at 2:00 hope to get her back here on Friday or Saturday they said they sew back small dogs but on larger breeds they install a stainless plate about 10 inches long, anyway can not take her anywhere except to do her business and then on lead with collar around the neck, 12 14 weeks they are telling me. I know some of you guys have had this problem with your dogs how did it come out Angel? how long before they were back are do they get back Jolie is only 3 years old, Gary

Too bad about Jolie Gary. My boy finally hunted without limping afterwards this pass October.
For two seasons after the surgery he would limp the rest of the day after a hunt. And that was only hunting for a couple of hours. And he developed arthritis after the surgery.
Just like us, take it easy after the surgery and she should be good.

My Shorthair had both legs done 6 weeks apart Gary .. they insisted on absolutely NO activity until they re X rayed and saw the bone healing and the plates in place.. I got one hunt over her that year and she was 100% in 6 months.. Good luck and best wishes

Gary;
With a good surgeon she should do fine as she has her young age going for her. Follow the Doctors instruction to the tee, give her a scratch on the head for me and keep her weight down. Good luck.

Just a follow up, Jolie went back to Carolina today for her last X-ray and thank goodness after 3 months she can resume normal activities, Vet says everything looks good, " she still limps after laying around for a while, but not in the woods" Left early this morning to get to Greensboro on time saw 2 hens with 14 chicks crossing the drive, should be a good season next year, Gary

Best of luck with your dog. I had an English Setter that had a cruciate ligament tear. My vet told me that he would tear one in the other leg within a year. He advised given the age of the dog (9years old) that I just retire him to the kennel. The vet is regarded as the best in my area for this surgery and does many of them. He advised each surgery would cost $2,500, so $5,000 to do both legs in one year on a dog that would be 10 years old.
