Help Needed! TPLO vs Non surgical for Bongo.

[Fbjdd]

Hi All,

Bongo it seems has torn his ACL. Our vet looked at him again 4 weeks after the initial injury and same looseness in his ACL.
He’s not limping anymore, but once in awhile he does still.
Vet says TPLO is the best option he’s only 7.5 years old.
Thoughts on TPLO vs non surgical?
Also can anyone recommend a good joint vitamin I can get in Canada for him.
Also on recovery no sofa or stairs at all? He sleeps with us in bed and comes up the stair [emoji30]

7.5yrs old is starting to be old for surgeries on an EB... Others might inform you better if they had it done...

You’re in Canada, it’s legal everywhere, don’t break your head and simply get CBD oil. This is where I buy mine...

Least expensive way is to buy the pure isolate and add to hemp seed oil or MCT oil.
eg. buy 1g, add to dropper jar to make total volume 50 ml , which gives you 20 mg/ml.

Start by giving dog 1 drop for each 6 pounds of weight with each meal twice daily.

This place in Canada for example will charge you 24.00 for 1g

Having said that [MENTION=15364]oscarmayer[/MENTION] has had very good luck with TPLO surgery, so he can comment the best about TPLO instead of ACL repair.
