As many know Sony has been intermittenly off on her LH this past year. long story short, Sunday Oct 5th Sony Blew her ACL on that very leg.
We had our first Appt with the Orthopedic vet this AM and she is scheduled for Surgery next tuesday. because of her size and the bit of Arthritis she has already in the knee, ( from an injury 2 years ago) they are not sure if they will do TPLO or TTA. so there will be 2 vets doing the surgery, since the descision will be made after they take a look inside. Both technics require cutting the bone and moving it to stabalize the knee. TPLO uses a steele plate, TTA a titanium plate and wedge. i will find more info and post a link.
I decided I want to document her surgery, recovery and rehab and thought creating a blog would be a good way so anyone who would like to know how she is doing can have a look see :)
I will try my best to keep it updated. I am fairly new to this so forgive me. I will also try and post pictures and any other info I can find.
thanks for reading!

Good start with the blog. Just don't forget to use the spell check. :-)
Good idea. It will help keep us informed so that we don't have to constantly bug you about how everything is going. Well, some of us might do that anyway! ;)

Good luck with the surgery and give Sony a kiss from me.
