TPLO surgery

[Shasta's mom]

We had the TPLO done on Shasta and she will be going in for her 8 week check up on friday. She has seemed to heal real good. There has been some days that on our short walks it seems that her leg gives out slightly. I am wondering if this has happened with anyone else and if it will get better in time. I will ask the vet about it also. I am nervous and excitied to find out how her leg is.

Our rottie had TPLO done on both knees and did extremely well. There were some times that her leg would give out a little, but as she healed and gained more strength in her legs she was fine. She has done termendously well after both surgeries.

that's good to know. I kind of was thinking that in time that would get better as her leg gets stronger. With all the reading I have done on this, that really didn't come up so I thought I would ask. We may have to do the other knee later down the road also. If so I will know more of what to expect. Thanks for the reply.

We had a TPLO done last February on one of our girls. It took almost 6 months for her to come back to where she could finally run and play and not have the leg be sore or have her give to it just a bit.

I'm sure this is running it's normal course.

I will post a thread after we get done at the doctors tomorrow to let everyone know how it went. Thank you both for the info.
