What surgery did you do and how did she heal after?
He had whatever the standard surgery was. I don't recall what they called it, but they basically went in and sutured things back together. He initially tore just one side. After surgery he tore the other side. Another surgery. Re-tore the initial knee. They went back in and used a stronger type of suture. He was healing pretty well after the last surgery and things were holding together but, of course, one day he was running and fell in a hole. He re injured the second knee he tore. Vet said to put him down because it was just going to continue happening. He ended up healing rather beautifully on his own. Had a hitch in his giddyup, but he lived a full life until cancer took him.
It does sound like Josie is having a different surgery. But she will be bionic afterwards! I think plates and screws would make her joint much stronger. I wouldn't recommend the suturing.
Edited to add: we used the best vet around, but even after having his staples removed, I was "finding" and pulling staples out that they overlooked. So maybe the vet wasn't as great as he seemed...

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Many prayers for you! Your messages were so kind while I was dealing with my Audie mess. Hoping she has a fast recovery. My dad's lab had to have both stifle joints (whatever those are called on a dog) replaced when she was really young. She is at least 10 or so now and still does short pheasant hunts, but not close together. She recovered well and had a very good life after. |

It's a pretty good amount but I've always had a vet savings account for the animals.Ive always said if I own them I owe them.Its my responsibility to give them what they need.I always become very attached to my rottis,the breeding has really went down hill unfortunately.I love this dog so much I can't imagine being without her.I know that day will come,but until then she's my girl and I owe her.:) |

I just took him in for surgery this morning and he was not a happy guy. Patch is a deep brown Cocker Spaniel, not exactly what I would go pick but abandoned dogs pick us. He is adorable. Patch has an ugly embedded tumor in his rectum that just had to go. I'll let you know. Thanks for asking about him. |

Well they kept Patch overnight so I picked him up this morning. Besides the ugly tumor in his little hole, they took a rather large soft tumor off his hind leg which made it so he has to wear a cone around his neck for 10 days. He absolutely hates it and so do I, but what are ya gonna do. Other than that inconvenience he is a bundle of energy working fulltime to get that thing off. Appetite is great and he was sooooo happy to be home.
