    My poor pup may have the same issue. He only just turned one and he has the back legs of an old dog.

      I’m sorry to hear that. The surgery we did was the TPLO (Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy), and it can be a somewhat difficult recovery, especially for larger dogs. She had to be in a crate to avoid walking/running, could only go outside on the leash and move slowly, no jumping, and we had to do some massage and heat/cold applications as well as pain medicine. It wasn’t easy, but it was doable. I really hope you find something that helps your pup!

        This is looking highly applicable to my dog. :(

        Thanks for the well wishes, we’ll do out best for him.
