If you opt for the TPLO be warned that to recovery time is long and in the beginning the dog will be in a good amount of pain.
Good luck with whatever you decide and I hope she feels better soon!

practice your "towel walking" now. Towel under belly hold both ends up to take the pressure off the bad leg. Do it soon, or you will be doing both knees.
