Thanks for the info! I believe the TTA will be better for her in the long run. Nice to hear from others who have gone through this and the success you have had.

My 60 pound male had cruciate surgery when he was 6 years old. I consulted with a veterinary surgeon who recommended the TPLO surgery. The surgery was a complete success and our dog recovered to where you would never know anything was ever done. The after care is extremely important. If you do not follow the after care instructions to the letter it is possible that the dog will not heal properly. I set up an xpen on carpet in our family room so he could be with us and not slip. I used a belly sling and leash to take him out to go potty. I kept him confined for a little longer then they recommended and am very glad that I did. Once he was completely healed we did therapy on the leg and as I said, you would never know anything had ever been wrong with him. Our surgeon recommended the TPLO because of the configuration of the dogs leg and the weight of the dog. His opinion was the suture would not last. I know several other bulldoggers who have had the TPLO done and have had great success. I hope everything goes well for you. Just make sure that who ever is doing this surgery has done a lot of them, and also is very familiar with anesthesia on bulldogs. That is extremely important. Good luck to you.

I was amazed at the recovery. In a few days after surgery she was walking pretty darn good. Of course she was crated alot and we used a sling when she was up and walking. We went with the TTA because the surgeon said the recovery was faster and because of her age, 71/2 at the time.
