Had both knees done on our Newf/Mastiff.

She blew the second almost a year to the day that she blew the first.

First one was out of pocket but we got insurance on her immediately after so the second one was covered.

60-70 lb dog is pushing the high end for the fishing line fix.

Probably looking at a double TPLO. Although having been thru it I don't think you can do both knees at once.

Thing about ACL tears in dogs is it's almost always architecture issues. Angle of the knee is too great so if a dog tears one they are pretty much guaranteed to tear the other.

Your looking in the neighborhood of $1,200-1,500 per knee.

Good luck.
