My daughter's cocker spaniel had the surgery and she did great - it wasn't bad at all, she didn't seem to be in pain much after surgery. My daughter did the physical therapy and she recovered very well - it did take some time though, and my daughter had to do the therapy for many many weeks. A canine orthopedic surgeon did the surgery and he is top notch. I would definitely recommend an orthopedic surgeon, if you can find one (for those of you who opt for the surgery).
