We're leaning towards TPLO at this point, probably mid october.

We're working on researching the post-op therapy now.

I just read through my thread when Earl had surgery http://pitbulltalk.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... =earl+knee
One thing you may want to consider is putting some sort of carpeting or runner where Connor has to walk. Until the bone has a chance to fuse back together, there is an increased chance of injury.

I expect eventual arthritis and possibly another surgery in case his other knee fails, but I hate the thought of him being less than 100%. I've found few people who have had this done who work their dogs as physically as we do, or have this kind of dog.
