My 165lb Great Dane blew out his right side and had the TPLO surgery 1.5 years ago, worked through the three month recovery and immediately blew out the left side last spring. The key in recovery is following Vets' directions on keeping them leashed so they have time to heal.
Rudy is doing fine now and runs like the wind. His steel plates are like Sky Scraper beams.
Good luck!
Paul
