My Boy Is Limping Again After 2 X $5000 Tplo Surgerys :(

[BJean]

When my 4y/o Corso woke up this morning limping, my heart sank!

I've seen this limp before.

2 years ago he had his first TPLO on the left knee, about 1 year ago he had his second TPLO on his right knee. He spent 2 months "locked up" (only allowed outside for potty breaks) after each surgery and was in terrible amounts of pain the first week after each surgery.

I've been feeding him daily doses of Sasha's blend, fish oil etc trying to prevent anything like this from happening, and then bam he just wakes up limping.

I think all this stress and pain is taking its toll on him, the poor boy is only 4 years old and his face is already turning grey. So i'm not sure what to do now, i know a failed TPLO is extremely complicated to repair and can be worse for him than the TPLO surgery, and after the last surgery i promised him that i wouldn't put him through that pain again, it's horrible seeing him like that, argh.

He's booked in to see a ortho vet, but they can't see me to next week.

Can anyone give me some advice?

Contact your breeder.

Maybe they have gone through a similar process before

and can offer insight/advice/treatment plan.

I dont know how long cane corsos live, but I imagine from their advertising spiel

that they should not be aged by the time they are 4yo.
