    I am truly on the fence about this. My dog has every problem known to man so if something is going to go wrong with either surgery, I am sure it will happen. My vet said he can have a traditional...

    Berna - my vet said the same thing. I also wonder why people say so often to not listen to the vet. Granted my vet cannot *do* a TPLO, but he has a decent amount of knowledge about the procedure...

    I talked to my vet this morning about options. He explained the injury. Apparently the ligament that attaches to the bone detached. We discussed all of the surgery options. I am not sure yet what...

    Does your lab pant a lot?

    Sorry to ask so many questions, but it's nice to ask people who know the breed better. My lab pants A LOT. Even really when he is just motoring around the house. It's been like this since he we...

    3ChocMom - thank you. What you are saying is what I fear (I also really dread leashed walks in the snow to go to the bathroom). I know we don't appear to have a choice though.

    I have the number of a holistic vet. I talked to her and may take him to see her to get another opinion. His pancreas was tested and he had a CBC. Not sure if the EPI (?) was tested.
