TPLO Information page

Besides doing Darby's Diary so you can see what we've been through, I thought I'd make up a page to answer your immediate questions you may have. After being diagnosed, you may feel panicked. "What do I do, can I do this?" Don't worry, you're normal. I think everyone feels the same way. Hopefully the information available on this page will help you cope.

I've added my very favorite links and information on CRUCIATE INJURIES. That page deals with the actual injury and the various types of treatment, not just the TPLO.

If you have ANY questions at all, please contact your surgeon and their office. That's what they are there for. They should be willing to answer any questions whether you feel they might be silly or not
