My lab went lamp on his left hind leg.
Took him to the vet and they did 500 bucks worth of x rays and such to tell me that he will need surgery for a torn ACL and a torn meniscus.
Anyone have experience with this?
How are the outcomes for this sort of thing? From what I gather, if untreated, the larger breeds will develop bad arthritis from this. If they do surgery, the joint is supposed to be better, but it won't ever be fully back again.
Looking for experiences/opinions on this situation. I've never had a dog with this problem before.
