You really are determined to contact me! OK, but remember: I'm not a vet My last personal experience with TPLO was quite a few years ago Everything I know is already on this site PLEASE join Orthodogs. It's free and easy to join, and plenty of people there will answer your questions in detail -- that's what the list is for! If you need help deciding whether to do surgery on your dog, or what type of surgery to do, or if you have questions about complications or recovery, you're much better off joining orthodogs: Click to subscribe to orthodogs If you still want to write to me, the address is laurie at lauriebryce.com (replace the "at" with the @ sign obviously). Be certain to put "TPLO" in the subject line. If you don't need a response, please say so! I like to hear that this site was useful for folks, and to hear how dogs are doing post-surgery, but with the volume of mail there's no way to respond to everyone. Thank you, and here's wishing health and happiness to you and your dog. Good luck if you choose TPLO!
