hehe, the artificial ligaments is basically fishing wire.
there are a few different types of knee surgeries. fishing wire, pins, tiny screw like implants, one plate and screws, or a plate, screws and a cage. we do all of these and they all get the bandage taken off the next day. Every vet is different tho. Just curious, did samie have an orthopedic surgeon do the surgery or did your regular vet do it?
