I never heard of that surgery and I found this. Can’t verify if it’s good info but seems very well researched.
Thought it might have some good info. Major surgery on dogs usually doesn’t turn out well. I hate to say it but every time I’ve done it, it only prolonged the dogs life by a year or two no matter the type of surgery. In fact, it seems that the trauma of the surgery causes other issues that end up killing the dog. DM for example.
Had a dog undergo surgery for bloat. Survived that but slowly lost control of his rear legs in the year following the surgery. Technically unrelated but this was a super strong dog with hips of steel.
Not saying it’s science, but I’m batting 1000 on this. No matter the surgery the dog just doesn’t do well. I hope yours is different.
