[QUOTE="Longlowdog, post: 7391454, member: 395"] My cocker bust her ACL and we were quoted 800 for a local op' with a moderate level of success anticipated or 4000 for an allegedly better op in Edinburgh but we actually settled on a custom canine ACL brace (Orthopets USA) that I found on the internet, discussed with my vet and it worked. It involved x-rays to get custom measurements and a few UK vets consult fees plus the US price for the brace to be made and shipped. Then yes the other side popped. As my dog was somewhat older and not required to work we elected to allow the second one to run its course with pain relief and she healed that and had decent mobility pretty rapidly. We elected to treat the first one as the biggest nightmare is if the second goes whilst the first is healing. I opted for the brace as the idea of box resting a working cocker for up to 8 weeks post-op' just seemed like it would be torture to her. [/QUOTE]
