Has anyone had to deal with this? If so, did you opt for the surgery, or was it able to heal?

My Chi, Arthur, had surgery for tears in both his knees - at 2 different times.
Is your vet really well-versed in Ortho, especially knees...? If not, believe me, you'll absolutely want to get a 2nd opinion from someone who specializes in knees as one of their areas of expertise.
