Hi, I've always found such good info and advice on YT in the past and here I am again.
Dinky is close to 7 years old. Over 2 years ago, he had LP surgery after he tore the ligament on his leftrear knee. The surgery was a success, but now here we are facing problems with his right rear leg. The vet told us today that there is a ligament tear.
We have move 800 miles from the last vet who did surgery only. So sadly, that will not work.
Also, this bet is recommending that we consider PRP which is stem cell therapy. This injury is not as bad as the last one was. Dinky can still walk and is not having as much discomfort as he did last time. But it's not getting better.
They have one vet in the practice that does the injection. It is one injection. The procedure involves Dinky being put under for an injection. We bring him in at 8am and he can go home around 2 or 3 pm. The vet says that the success rate is pretty high.
Of course, if it does not work, Dink will be getting the surgery anyway. But I like the idea of no surgery, no 8-12 week recovery period. And far less trauma for Dink. The PRP costs about 300-350. And here the patella surgery will be around 1500. And if we do the LP surgery, we will probably go to a surgeon.
Anyway, any feedback on PRP? We would be taking him in on Monday. So we have a couple of days to consider this. Thanks!
