I would absolutely make sure you get a second opinion before such a major decision is made. It may turn out to be the best for your pup, but if the person making this diagnosis is NOT a certified surgeon/orthopaedic I would most certainly consult with one first. This is a huge decision, not to be taken lightly; however, if this is the cure all for this pup let it be said that these little ones are resilient and can lead long productive lives and adjust quite well. Again, please see a specialist.
