Hi Amelia, Johnny had TPLO at age 5 and the other side went 6 mo. later. Both surgeries were successful. My best source of information was my vet...
You have a wonderful vet. I agree with 5labs: muzzle train and book a behaviorist. Muzzle training is a great benefit in case your dog is ever...
So glad Isla is recovering. My heart was in my mouth when I read this because pancreatitis can be a nightmare in humans. What about ice cubes for...
The ligament problem is a degenerative disease and the vets (here) told me the other side would likely tear. None of us were expecting the other...
Well done both of you! How did it go? Does Sophie have antlers for the holidays? Johnny is going on 18 months out from TPLO, left first and then...

Johnny recovered beautifully from TPLO surgery #1 in Jan 2020 and TPLO #2 in July 2020. I highly recommend not attempting to get surgery for your...
What a shock at this age. I had a Belgian shep. mix who had terrible hip x-rays at about the same age. At the time however, there were no hip...

I'm sorry he's gone but I hope soon you'll be able to look back fondly on 12 wonderful years.
I'm sorry you're facing this. You know your dog best but do ask about the purpose of radiotherapy. In both humans and dogs radiotherapy can...
When Johnny had his first set of shots, he slept for 24 hours, then right as rain and no reactions to vaccines over the years. Maybe the pup is...
Well done. Owners can get hurt too (don't ask me how I know this). Would you consider making a report to the local police? Having a dog off lead...
Gus, the wound looks great, especially for such early days. Wonderful pup letting you photograph him :) What happened to you when your dog was...

Hi, Our 4 yo Johnny had TPLO surgery in January 2020 and then the other leg went so he had that done in July. It was expensive yes. I noticed a...
