You are right that there is no point in doing the TPLO by itself. My Jezebel had LP with a CCL tear. The orthopedic surgeon did the TPLO and fixed the LP so now she has a nice, stable knee and it won't get re-torn. Didn't the surgeon want to fix both problems? |

I understand it is expensive, but I highly recommend that you get her to a boarded surgeon and find a way to get the money together for her care. Look at things you can sell. Ask family for help. Try to get a credit card from Healthcare and Medical Financing for Consumers | CareCredit™ |
As we told you months ago when this first happened, your pup would be in pain for the rest of her life. So, you have decided to let her live in pain and take meds for it. How very sad for your pup.
