[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for all of the information.  I checked out many vets, and even considered going up to Richmond or Newport News (there is a Dr. through Banfield (petsmart) who does them and I was quoted between $1,500-1,700. ) We ultimately decided to go with our vet, who is an ortho and been doing this for over 40 years, even though he is more expensive $2,500.  To have to put out this much money sucks, but they are 10 minutes down the road and the price also included 3 post op appt. with injections of vitamins to help the healing process.  My biggest worry now is that our dog (who we just rescued in Dec.), is a boxer mix and only a year old, will not be a good patient during recovery.  He has the Boxer energy, and even though he has been on sedatives while waiting for surgery, he still chases my 2 cats every chance he gets!  I am wondering how to keep him calm and low energy....don't want him to rip the wire or tear the other acl......[/quote]

Did you do TPLO?[/quote]
