I have an American Bulldog and recently he has been limping. I took him to the vet and he thinks it is a tear in the ACL on the knee. I have already rested him for two weeks (as vet instructed) and he has improved. I am slowly increasing his activity, but the vet told me not to get my hopes up. He may sill need surgery. My dog is just over a year, so the vet recommended the most agressive surgury. Instead of replacing the ligament, they would reshape the bone and plate it. The surgery would cost around $3000. I was just wondering if anyone else has experience with this kind of surgery? Also, I don't know if I should get a second opionion. I would appreciate any input anyone had. Thanks
