Anyone's dog ever had surgery? Rec vet???

My golden has torn her ACL or CCL, whatever they call it in a dog.  They are rec. surgery on her that is going to cost $4500.  I just want to make sure we are going to someone good since a specialist has to do it.  Anyone ever been in the same boat and if by the odd chance you have, did you like the vet who did it?  If you did pls rec.

 

Thank you!

  • I've never had that surgery done on my pets before, but I heard that it's really costly, and even when it is fixed, they have a higher risk of it happening again. I use woodburn pet hospital, but I dont know what area you're in so it's hard to recommend. Best of luck with your dog though :(
  • my dog had acl surgery 7 weeks ago.  It cost $900, but it was just acl surgery, where they put a new ligament (basically heavy duty fishing line)  in.  Is your dog getting the TPLO surgery?  There's a great vet hospital in Corvallis that does those surgeries.  I took my pup to Cascade Animal Hospital in Springfield.  HTH.

  • I used to work for a vertinary clinic in 2007. This surgery is relatively expensive and even more so if your dog needs to have a specialist perform it. Our vet always recommended Dr. Lozier at NW Veterinary Specialists in Clackamas for this type of surgery http://www.northwestvetspecialists.com/ or Dr. Ost VCA SE Animal Hospital http://www.vcahospitals.com/southeast-portland/our-team.html

    I hope that helps!
