So he recommended that we go to an orthopedic board certified specialist. That is who did the surgery. The first one said that without the tibial crest movement done on oliver, we might be looking at the same thing happening 4 or 5 years down the road. Oliver's legs were pretty bad... Good luck with yours!!
It is always great to hear a vet, who knows his limits rather than attempt the surgery himself
