Hey Bob...what is her name?

TPLO is usually the best option for large breeds.

Hopefully you have a good orthopedic doctor in the area who will take xrays and perform the drawer test and then provide proper diagnosis and options.

What options did they tell you?

In dogs technically it's called a CCL - not ACL.

Had CCL tears on both back legs of Billabong but fortunately she was a good candidate for the Arthex Tightrope procedure. Then later she had surgery for a Luaxted Patilla. She's fully recovered now and I would do it all over again if need be. My girls mean the world to me.

Don't be afraid to call around to find a surgeon you feel comfortable with. After all - your dog cannot do this and you are her advocate.

Give her a belly rub from us.
