TPLO surgery
Has anyones dog had to have TPLO surgery?
Thanks! |
Dear God, we're going through this just now. Our dog Cricket messed herself up, and we're exploring surgery. $6,000 was the quote. She is improving, but it's been about 7 weeks. :sadangel:

Fletch is not getting better.

Two vets told us basically the same info. Fletch is scheduled for surgery Tuesday. No one here does this surgery. It's a long recovery.
Thank you for prayers! Prayers and best wishes for y'alls furbaby. |
I hope everything goes well and your pooch makes a full recovery.:yesnod:

We had VPI ( nationwide ) insurance on Levi, our late swissy.
They covered a lot and paid (reimbursed) in a timely manner. Next dog will have insurance again :yesnod: |

Yup. Our Levi had the procedure on his left side about 4 years ago. U of Mo vet school did the surgery. We were told there's a 50/50 chance the other side would need it - so far so good. Levi's @ 75 lbs, and I slept with him every night in on an inflatable mattress for eight weeks so I could lift him up and down to go out. It was worth the cost and effort. |
Thank you for the info on Levi! So glad to know he's doing well. I have a crate set up beside my bed near his favorite window for the first two weeks. We also have a pack and play and a play yard fence to use for the other 6 weeks. Thanks for the inflatable mattress idea. I have one and we'll sleep on it if we need to. Fletch weighs 24 lbs so taking him out to potty is not a problem. I just worry about him being in pain from the surgery.
How old was Levi when he had surgery? We think Fletch is 9-10 years old. |

We adopted Fletch from the local humane society. He is a 2011 tornado survivor.

No dogs for us, but here's hoping for speedy and successful recovery!

THAT'S why Levi had insurance :yesnod: |
Hey guys! Thank you for the helpful info. I researched 2 vet schools, Miss State and Auburn (yeah I know), and the specialist in Birmingham was in the same price range. $3400-$3700. My local vet said use Birmingham.
