This was the single best decision I made for my Frenchie. When I adopted her as a rescue, her knee was so unreliable, she was essentially a three-legged dog. As I got to know her over the next couple of months, I realized how much she needed and deserved to have the surgery done - I actually considered driving her 6 hours to a surgeon in TN because we were summering in NC at the time. In the end, I scheduled the surgery at Red Bank at the end of summer and dropped Peekaboo off, wracked with nerves. But when I picked her up, she was in good spirits, as she remained throughout recovery. The pain was manageable, and Peekaboo healed well and quickly. Within weeks, I discovered she was not only resilient and eager, she also was incredibly physically strong and a speed demon. It took a lot of encouragement for Peekaboo to relearn using the leg she'd mostly stopped using for probably nearly 4 years, but persistent reminders helped, and she soon learned she had a fourth good leg to rely on. This, I think, was the turning point in Peekaboo's physical health, and in her emotional health, too. She is now a far happier and more confident dog, and she enjoys life more because she is no longer worried and in pain. There is not a regret I had this done for Peekaboo, and I know her life was forever improved for it. We can now enjoy playing and walks without concern she will hurt herself and knowing she can comfortably let loose; we have enjoyed hours-long hikes on many occasions, which she would never have been able to do before, and which she very much loves. Peekaboo didn't need PT and was fine with the vet-imposed restrictions, especially because she was still out hobbling around with me a few times a day. I helped her with stairs until she was cleared, and she has not had any recurring problems. She doesn't take supplements, and we don't do anything in particular to address her knee now, 6 years later. No arthritis, no lasting issues. You know your dog better than any, but if she is anything like mine, she will certainly be grateful to you for giving her this chance.
