[QUOTE="PUMPKIN, post: 1690598, member: 9831"] is it a back leg knee?? cruciate(sp?) ligament? We just had the TPLO surgery done on our chocolate lab at woodland west in tulsa. They also do the same surgery at OSU in stillwater for the same price. There are two ways to fix the problem 1 way is and older style way that uses rubberbands and other items dont know much about as we opted for the tplo. old way is about $1200.00. We decided to do the TPLO surgery where they cut his leg in half and re-adjust the bones at the knee joint and repair the Cruciate ligament. They readjust the bones and install a plate to hold them together. The healing process is very tedious it takes anywhere from 10 -16 weeks for it to heal. Our lab took 10 weeks. You have to keep them confined to a kennel or a closet and keep them on a leash. Its not the funnest 10 weeks. Now the part where you need to be sitting down it cost us around $3200.00 and theres a GREAT chance that the other knee will fail too. I wish i would have got health insurance for him when he was a pup. couldnt get it once he had the problem of course. Woodland west takes CARE CREDIT which is like a visa for health care bills and such. Smaller dogs are probably alittle cheaper. here he is the day i brought him home. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i1091.photobucket.com_albums_i391_PUMPKIN598_IMAG0127.jpg[/IMG] If you catch it early it may not be completely torn. the only way to find out it to have a surgery done, they cannot tell by x-rays or feel. if its the same thing i can answer most of your questions he just got released from the doctor to play again about 2 weeks ago. here he is 11.5 weeks after which was this morning..
