Hello,
My two year old English Bulldog, Carl, will be undergoing TPLO surgery on both legs TODAY. To be honest I'm a complete mess and one worried Momma! (Being 7 months pregnant doesn't help either with my emotions!) Other than him being nurtured, neither of us have any experience with surgery and recovery. Initially we thought, he would just be having surgery on his left knee, but after further testing at his consultation appointment, the surgeon recommended to have surgery on the other knee as well. With evident damage already, he said Carl wouldn't make it another 6 months, if that, before we would have to go through this process again. He said the recovery would be a little tougher in the beginning, but the benefit of having only one surgery and one recovery process will out-weigh everything.
Does anyone else have any experience with TPLO surgery?? Especially both knees at the same time. My husband and I want to make his recovery process as smooth as possible for him! Any advice will be greatly appreciate!!
Thank you!
