Thank yall so much for the responses. Unfortunately the second surgeon we went to had the same opinion as the first. He said the suture attempt would be futile due to how bad her LP is and the only way to fix it will be the TPLO but we do have to wait until her growth plates close. He also mentioned that she was showing signing of her trachea problems but that is not his specialty so he recommended I speak with her vet about that. OwnedbyJezebel I really appreciate the precautions. I love the tethering idea and will be ordering one asap. Thank you so much again. I appreciate it greatly. My heart breaks for her, but the meds are helping right now so she is comfortable and happy so that is good. I did contact her breeder however have still not heard back. The surgeon suggested the tear was caused by the LP that due to the advanced stage she is in more than likely the breeder is aware of the condition in her puppies. But Idk.
Thanks again. And I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! |
