Was just wondering if anyone's dog has suffered from Cruciate Ligament problems before? Kai has ruptured his and needs to go to a specialist for a operation (TPLO) My vet highly recommends two surgeon who can carry out this op but leaves the final decision up to us. I obviously want whats best for Kai so was wondering if anyone had any recommendations?

That happened to a dog belonging to a neighbour of ours and he had surgery which has helped alot. I'll p.m you the vet details when I can get hold of them but I do know he (vet) isn't local but has an excellent reputation in vet circles for orthopaedic surgery.

Kai's a Boxer so I reckon I'm gonna have a difficult job - certainly not looking forward to the recovery period
