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!

    We had TPLO on our girl. Scheduled the consultation, then in between consultation and surgery the other ligament blew. So they did both legs at the same time. The cost was about $5-6k in total. First 1-2 weeks was rough because she couldn’t use half of her legs, and so would require being carried out and would balance on her front legs to pee. I’m hindsight, it was hilarious.

    She’s just as rambunctious now as she was before tearing her ligaments, so it was absolutely the right choice.
