I had insurance, but because she was limping prior to a minor sprain, they didn&#8217;t cover it.  I couldn&#8217;t stand seeing her limping around anymore so i paid the $3000 for the kind of surgery where they cut the bone so the leg isn&#8217;t bowed anymore and so it stabilizes the knee (TPLO).  She is doing ok and today is the second day after surgery. <\/p>\n<p>I thought I had sedated her enough, but I left the room for two seconds, and somehow she got off her chair.  I was going to let her sit in it with my help but now that is off limits.  Then today, I left her in my bedroom with her cone on, I thought she wouldn&#8217;t be able to get on the bed&#8230;but when i got home she was on it.  I have no idea how. <\/p>\n<p>The most important thing I have learned from this is&#8230;THEY WILL DO WHAT YOU DON&#8217;T WANT THEM TO DO.  She doesn&#8217;t understand that these two attempts could have easily ruined her newly operated knee, and me underestimating her also almost wasted that $3000.  I&#8217;ve learned that i can&#8217;t leave her for one second, and that she is going to have to be crated.  She really scared me.  <\/p>\n \n<p>Also, her ankle is a little swollen, but thanks to this web site i might not have to pay another $200 to see what it is.  One of your contributors said that their dog had just fluids trapped there and that massage and ice helped with them.  I called the vet, and they are calling the specialist who did the surgery for me and recommended heat.  If it continues past the weekend I will go back to the vet, but this website helped me with the initial panic.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much!<br \/>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Injury Date: 04\/14\/10 Potato&#8217;s Story: Potato tore her knee muscle in winter.
