Wow..I have not been on this site in a few years. Yes, my Cody had the operation a couple of years ago--he was 3 years old in July. He is fine...really great although he sometimes resorts to running 3 legged when he gets tired but it has not really kept him down. His recovery was pretty easy--pain meds for a few days and limited activity. We got a second Yorkie (Duncan) 2 months after Cody's surgery and I think playing with him was his therapy. cody was 9 months old when he had his surgery as well. I think it cost us about 1200.00 for the surgery--It is very scary but your Mocha will be fine--Good Luck and let me know how you make out..
