Just got x-rays done today, getting a second opinion within the next 2 weeks and then making our decision. If anyone has experience with the TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) or MMP (Modified Maquet Procedure) surgery, please share. Thank you!

    My dog got TPLO done in both rear legs. They did them one at a time so she could walk on three legs while the surgical leg healed. The surgeon did a very good job and there weren’t any serious complications. The hardest part was convincing her not to get on the couch during recovery. It also cost us about $8k USD for both legs combined.

      Thank you for sharing your experience, glad she is doing well! It’s going to be hard to keep Hazel away from activity, she is such a ball of energy. But we’ll do what we must!
