Oh, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Beale! There are some other YTers who have also used him. I take all of my orthopedic cases to him...my own pups and my fosters. He has done many surgeries for me over the past 7 years and some were complicated cases that others told me could not be repaired. He is also not "surgery happy" .. we took three pups there recently and he did not recommend surgery for any of them. If he says a knee must be repaired, you can take it to the bank!
YHR website has a couple of articles he has written and given to us to use...one is about LP and the other is about cruciate ligament tears.

I don't know how old Jezebel is, but often with the older pups surgery is not needed. Of course they are at a higher risk of tearing a ligament, but it does not mean they will. The younger ones usually should be repaired.
Good luck and keep us posted!
