My dog is showing the exact same signs as the Chocolate Labrador at the start! He’s eating well, drinking well, even cleaning himself. It not sore to touch, and he can even bend it. His leg starts spasming sometimes, which is scary. Could anybody tell me why it does?

My dog Max (husky/shepherd x) has just been diagnosed with this condition =(
So its off to surgery soon. $3200 approx here in new zealand.
Interesting to read other people experiences and comments on this topic. Excellent video vetstoria.
My Siberian Husky …
My Siberian Husky was operated on in August of 07 for a TPLO. She has been great since that time. Two days ago she started yelping with pain from that leg. It lasted about 20 seconds and then subsided. It recurred 3 or 4 times a day even during the night. My vet told us to give her Baby aspirin a couple of times a day and make an appointment with the Dr. who did the surgery. We have an appointment with him on Thursday May 5th. Will update you after that appointment.
Restricted activity …
Restricted activity which means no long walks, stairs, curbs, etc. Cutting down on snacks to maintain healthy weight. Glucosomine and Chondroitin supplements for joint health. Lastly, lots of massage for the affected leg. Hope that helps. It does take time to heal. Wish you the best of luck.

I actually opted for conservative management of the injury. She is now back to full weight bearing on the affected knee and can run almost as fast as before. I still restrict her from jumping and climbing stairs.

Our boxer just got home from her TTA surgery yesterday. She tore her ACL months ago and just now we are treating it Yes it was expensive about $4,000 but worth it. Now the hard part will be the long recovery. 6-12 week lease only and probably 4 mons untill she can play with her friends again, If I let her!! The recovery is supposedly excellent but we shall see. Good luck
