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.

I just went through it with my best buddy. He tore it last spring. We tried the conservative approach without results. In July we went the surgery route, He recovered well and was hunting again by october. He tired easily but was able to keep up. I thought we were over it and took him in for a check up. The Dr. said that he had an ear infection and treated him. A week later he was totally deaf. he works off verbal as well as hand commands. We tried a preserve hunt but it was disasterous, he got lost in the tall grass and ended up at the start of the field. Needless to say his ten year career is over. I was told that the medicine c aused deafness in some cases. I was not told that before they administered it. Good luck, I hope it works out well for you.
