This is some crap. My K9 Demmy who I so recently posted proud pictures of has had some off and on lameness. Arthritis and a small bone spur in her hip. Adequin shots and rimadyl only helping a little. This is a working dog and it kills me to have to work her when shes not her tasmanian devil self. So the vet calls me today and wants another series of xrays. She believes that she needs knee surgery for basically a torn ACL. Work aside I am freaking out. Does anyone have any experience with this? She described shaving the bone flat and placing a plate in. Six months rehab on the outside. This will definitely be career ending for her. Jesvetmed-maybe you can help? Is this a successful surgery?
