Charlie blew out his other ACL (left knee) Monday. The good news was we were able to schedule surgery for today. It really broke my heart to see him struggling on 3 legs the last few days. It was only November when he had the other knee done, so his "good" back leg is probably only 80%.
Our Dr. told us we had a pretty good chance of seeing this within a year of the first one, so I suppose it's good to not have it hanging over our heads anymore
They will actually cut his tibia, rotate the joint to make it more level instead of the normal bias, and then screw in titanium plates to fuse the bone. It's pretty serious stuff for a big dog (106lbs), so please help us wish him luck!
