TPLO Complications – Blu

By on November 25, 2016 in CCL Injury, Complications, Conservative Management, Dog Knee Surgery, Owner Experiences, Recovery, Surgical Procedures, TPLO

We had some success with that for about a year until I got another dog and he reinjured it rough housing. We tried CM again but this time he wasn’t improving so we made the […]
