    Had a Corgi that blew out both ACLs (not at the same time but about 3 years between them).

    The TPLO surgery worksvery very well ... basically the dog ends up with a knee that is better than God designed. Downsides are that its expensive and if one goes the other has about a 50/50 chance of going eventually too.

    Spent a total of about 5 grand on both our dog's knees (then he ended up dying a couple years later of an unrelated illness ... poor little bastard).
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.

    If you have a little time to spare you might try taking her to CSU Veterinary school in Ft Collins I did with my lab when she had cancer and the cost was about a third or so, she lived another 5 years after that and the cancer never came back

    almost exactly the same with my golden except about a year a part. She is still going strong. Well worth it to see her happy:
