Haley going into surgery for TPLO right now!

[2BOXERSMOM]

Sadie just had TPLO done last month on the left, and had the right done a year ago. Other than a reaction to the Deramaxx after this one, no complication from either surgery. The problem is that if your dog is very active, confinement is a challenge. We are limiting Sadie to one floor of the house and not letting her climb stairs. The surgeon said that if they are feeling better, on their meds, they tend to be active and overdo it. If you keep her confined comfortably, and not let her get active too soon, she should be just fine. Good Luck.

Awwwww, been there, done that. Mack did not have to have two done at the same time but has had three knee surgeries. I know the stress and worry you are going through.

Everyone on that site is going through orthopedic surgeries with a dog (many, many TPLOs) and it's a wealth of information and support.

Just wondering what the update is on Haley? How are you getting on with her recovery? Hope it's going well for you all.

Update?

I hope Haley's recovery time is going well. I'm sure it's put a kink in your normal routine, to say the least. Hope all is well. Keep us posted when you get time
