He is still doing well. He is slow in sitting down and getting up the stairs, but once outside he runs like a dog should, with independent leg movements. So he's old, heavy and slow, but he's happy and doesn't appear to be in pain. Our black lab/Akita mix (#80) had both knees done with tightrope surgery in Sep 2010 – he was about nine at the time.

I have a king charles spaniel that has partially torn his ACL and I want to see how your dog responded after this technique. Teresa,

We found a vet who recommended the procedure and it cost under $700 for everything. I went to a rural vet where they keep costs low though. The vet did several tight rope surgies last winter. Dakota has good days and not as good days but she can resume our walks, and activitiy. I don't think the TPLO would have been any better as far as her recovery. I think part of her pain comes from hip displasia but it's hard to know for sure. She was just under 4 when she had her injury. After talking to the vet about our options and going through the surgery with our dog I would recommend tight rope. We did tight rope surgery for our 100 lb Native American Indian Dog last winter.

She's still in the painful first few days stage, but I hope she does as well as most of the rest of your dogs have! I'm not seeing much as to the recuperation of little dogs having this surgery, so I decided to keep a blog for others who might be in the same situation. Hopefully it will help somebody.

Funny thing is, my husband also has same injury boy it looks bad to do the dog first!! I'm sure St. francis would appreciate this.

I hear so many bad things about every surgery. Please keep me updated on her recovery and use of her leg. I am currently researching all surgeries for larger dogs, and I can't find any that seem worth going through. Steve,

Our vet believes she has a partial or fully torn cruciate ligament in one of her knees. Im considering all surgeries. Why did your dog need the tightrope surgery twice? Hi Susan,

The comment about being to large for the Tight Rope could not be further from the truth. The fact is that if you speak to Dr Cook he will tell you that this was designed for the larger dog that is when I was convienced that this wss the right route to go. He also said that they had performed this on much bigger heavier dogs than Bella and she is 95 pounds. He also said that they had perforemed it on many show dogs who were in the ring a year later and no one could tell. That is how Miss Bella is now she runs and romps and has a great time like she never had surgery. Yes she still gets a little tired and slows down some what after running but she never limps any longer. I also did trade in my SUV for a VAN so that she no longer jumps down on hard pavement and so on. Yes I bought a vehicle for my dogs.... Call me crazy but they are happier and so am I.
