    Can you help with advice... CRUCIATE KNEE LIGAMENT

    Hi all!

    I got an e-mail from a friend of mine in London. One of her dogs, Macy has problems with her leg.

    Annette has just had an eye operation, so is not up to joining PT until she can see better, so she asked me to ask PT for advice, if any of you have/had a dog been through this procedure?

    "Macy has been to see a vet and was diagnosed with possible ruptured CRUCIATE KNEE LIGAMENT and is due for surgery, using a technique called TPLO (TIBIAL PLATEAU LEVELLING OSTEOTOMY) we are very worried as you can imagine, so I wonder if you know of any dog who has been through this procedure? I desperately need some feedback, also regarding vet fees, we have spend a fortune already, e.g. £208 just for a consultation with an Orthopaedic specialist and the operation will cost a lot more. We will of course do everything we can to get her leg back in shape."

    Annette sent me some pictures of Macy, she is 8 years old.

    Here she is:
