[IMG][/IMG]Hi guys, I like to come here to post sometimes because of the wealth of information and personal experiences.

Well i have a 9 year old blue heeler that has blown her ACL. The surgery is around $4000 . Money isnt really an issue, she is insured as well we would pay that out of pocket if need be . I have done some research and consulted a few vets . The surgery is an option but the recovery time and possible re injuring the knee is one issue , as well she is over weight , which i have learned that she can now over compensate and blow he other knee out after surgery.

anyways , at which point do you let her do her own thing and just live with it? still high energy , shows no pain , just her normal dailys but on three legs.

What would be best for her quality of life? considering her age?

Thanks for any input
