Hi everyone - some sad news. Bodi tore both his cruciate ligaments in his left knee playing with his Lab/Pitbull mix girlfriend. She jumped off the deck and Bodi thought he could do the same - not quite.
Bodi is sheduled for surgery this Tuesday and I understand the recovery process is long and tedious. I have opted for the tibial bone grafting surgery as opposed to the typical suture type surgery - it supposedly is a much better repair for large breed dogs.
Has anyone with a large breed have experience with this injury and this particular type of surgery? What should I expect during the first few days, weeks, and even months to follow?
