My stupid dog that my wife and daughters love more than anything jumped out the window of my wifes car on sunday while they were driving.

ER Vet said probably tore up her knee

She's about 50 pounds of Mutt, anyone have experiences with surgury vs letting it go?

They did Taters ACL.  If the dog is older and not in pain vs a young, active dog was kind of how they presented our options.

Ours is young and very active.  before the injury she ran with my wife multiple days a week.  Not hunting active, not really around other dogs either.

kstate quoted 4k for the procedure which I was hoping would be cheaper.

after spending a bazillion dollars on my last best pal, I got insurance for the latest. its like $40 a month but that also covers shots and some visits or something. You can get it cheaper without the shot add on, but it prob works out to be about the same. This will only work for you if you have a time machine though.

Pets seem like something you should definitely self insure on. In fact, I think the list of things worth insuring is pretty short. Life, health, home, auto (by law). Am I missing anything?

Travel insurance should probably be something I should look in to...........

Seems to be going rate.  Taters ACL was $4k, and I didn't even get a KState DVM.

FWIW, he has recovered nicely.  Prior, he limped around and favored the injured leg.  He even puts all his weight on the repaired leg to pee.

So, it's been 4 years since my dog died and I'm finally at the stage where I want to get a dog. I really want a corgipoo. I love corgi's but I don't love dog hair.  But, I'll probably just scour the local shelters for months until I find a sweet dog that doesn't shed.

You should definitely get a wiener dog.

our pup has has had a slight limp over the past few days. Mrs SSOC took him to the vet and it sounds like he needs ACL surgery.
has anyone had this done at KSU? any other places in the Salina vicinity?
this is hitting me kind of hard. he has been such a healthy, active dog for his whole life and I'm really opposed to the notion that he isn't immortal.

My dog injured an ACL over a year ago in the fall. 

She is 65 lb mutt that's built like a small lab kind of.

My BIL has hunting Labs and he told me that when his tear something, they just become house pets.  He quit trying to fix them because when one is fixed they often tear the other one.

My dog has made a pretty great recovery.  She'll even run, play etc, we just have to make sure she's not zig zagging, had to get more rugs for wood floors etc.  It chilled her out quite a bit, she never jumps, gets up on hind legs any more but other than that is happy as a lark.

I usually scoop my mutts poop out of the backyard at least once a week but with all the snow and cold temps recently my backyard has been turned into a minefield that took a while to clean up.
