Part of the reason I opted NOT to have the surgery. Cricket has recovered, and adapted to her disability. She has learned to run (with an altered gate), but continues to have a great quality of life. She's still a moron at 11 and chases anything small and furry, despite her advanced age...she's definitely a puppy at heart. Since she no longer gets quite as much exercise as before, we've cut her food ration down from 3 total cups a day to 2, and it's having a positive impact on her weight. Less weight also means less wear and tear on the legs. Eventually her other leg may give out, but holy cow was that fast for your pup.
Best wishes for round #2.
