My parents have a toy poodle who had the same injury (ruptured ACL and LP)... it was repaired when she was just under a year... she is almost 5 now and doing GREAT! She plays, runs,and jumps like there was never anything wrong with her... the rehab was a little tough but it was worth it because she is now pain free and a happy, healthy dog.
I would recommend a joint supplement once she is all healed it helps with the arthritis that often forms after these surgeries.
All my dogs are on Dasuquin (as are my parents) although many here recommend Cosequin.
Good Luck... I know it is tough seeing them go through this but I am sure your baby will be just fine!
