The vets who do that surgery are experts and it's a simple procedure for them. The dog will be good as new in a few months.

Do a 2-play teaser to lower the surgery cost and raise his life expectancy, mate
Seriously, I'd do the surgery. I like that dog

Ok so my wife who is a vet tech (and a professional cute doggie video watcher) says get the dog repaired. Dr. Gary Sod in St. Gabriel is who you want to talk to.

Spent about 2k on TPLO surgery for a 3 year old Doberman. Then six months of recovery. Fine now.

I have. I couldn't afford arthroscopic at the time, so it was open surgery. His legs got worse and I had to put him down. If you do it, get arthroscopic.

Pink jacket with your dog in front of a Bill Maher poster. Your dog might not be the one that needs to be put down.

You should probably look into fixing your face before any surgery on the dog

I have a boxer and we were pretty sure he tore his. Phycox has been a game changer but I also think at the end of the day it was just a sever sprain in his knee. If it's torn man the recovery is pretty harsh and they say that usually the other knee goes due to it having to support the weak one. I'd get a couple of opinions.

our dog slipped on icy steps, and ripped the side patella muscle off the bone.
just have to be patient, and when you drug them, they can end up whizzing on the carpet,floor, because the drugs pretty much delay their actions and with the pain, they just cant let you know.
they also put one of those saucer deals around her head so she wouldn't lick the wound/surgery. they f'in hate these damn things.
doctors told us to block off the couch/sofa/etc, so she wouldnt climb and jump on things, which would slow the process of patella healing back to the bone.

There comes a day but yours is still young and it's not hydrophobia.

My 6 year old 60 lbs mutt ruptured her back left ACL over 18 months ago. I kept her demobilized as possible for a couple of months (difficult). But she is fine now; it seems to have repaired itself over time. Researching surgery scared me off because of the meager success rates and high recurrence rates when successful. I decided to let nature work it's course and it worked out.
My dog responded horribly to getting spayed and other instances of anesthesia so that was the main reason I didn't want to do the procedure. She limped around for a while but was fine other than that. I really don't think it's a big quality of life game changer unless the dog is already pretty frail.
Also, I spoil the heck out of my dogs... Good luck on the decision. I'm sure it will work out whatever you decide.

My sister has a fatass English bulldog that she loves dearly so she spent almost 3K for the ACL repair.
He's still a fatass but she doesn't let him jump up on the couch or bed anymore.
She said the surgery was worth every penny.
