Just got x-rays done today, getting a second opinion within the next 2 weeks and then making our decision. If anyone has experience with the TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) or MMP (Modified Maquet Procedure) surgery, please share. Thank you!

    I’ve got a dog that had the same problems. She’s about 40-45 pounds and I ended up going with a tight rope surgery. She’s doing great 5 years later still, runs around like she always has.

    The tight rope surgery is less invasive than the other options traditionally offered, it may be worth looking into for your dog.

        Also I just remembered if the injury is fresh, time is of the essence as the meniscus can be further damaged. It’s a painful injury with the only option being surgery for a long term fix, hope your dog gets well soon!
