Unhappy My dog tore her other ACL

We rather figured it would happen. The vet says 40% of dogs who tear one ACL eventually tear the other, whether or not the first one is repaired. Almost exactly a year ago, Rosie tore her left ACL while chasing a squirrel. ACL = Anterior Cruciate Ligament = knee (called a stifle joint on a dog). Surgery was $2100. Here we go again...another credit card attack.

But it must be done. She's family! Surgery is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 4 (tomorrow). Oh how I dislike that big plastic collar!

Please wish for a smooth surgery and recuperation.
