Do not have a regular vet do this surgery! It needs to be done by an orthopedic surgeon or more then likely you will have to go back and get it fixed by one. I have done this surgery twice with my dog now although I stay at home all the time it was only necessary for the dog to stay one night. Also there is no need for them to stay for two weeks for rehab in my opinion. We did most of ours at home but went once a week to do the water treadmill.
