My Golden Retriever/Chow mix has had it done on both his back legs approximately a year and a half apart. Although it was very expensive it was well worth it. The alternative would have been to repair the ligament. That would have been a cheaper surgery with a shorter recovery time but it would not have been a long term solution. When our dog, Kuma, came home he was in a great deal of pain for the first few days. He does not do well being confined in small spaces so crating wasn't an option. He did a great job of staying off his feet (I think the drugs helped there). In the end, his recovery took about 12 weeks each time. and he has been 100% since.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

Good luck,
Michael
