You know, I've been through a few patella surgeries, and all have gone in the morning, and picked up the same afternoon.

All done by a specialist, with directions for home therapy. I have not had a problem. I just worry, that some may not
be able to take on the cost, when it may not be needed. Thus, the dog, not getting his leg/legs fixed.

My home therapy, with LBB, was really nothing other than making sure he was confined, with limited leg movement.
Although limited, it was very important he did have enough room to use the leg (somewhat). No cast, as they do want
some movement, which in and of itself, is therapy.

LBB thrived. So did the others.

I also have, a very dear friend, on this forum, who had doubles done, with the same care, and advice, I've followed.

I really don't want people to think the cost, and care, is soooo much. Of course, always follow your heart, and instincts.
If the money is too steep, then please get a second opinion from another specialist.

Edit to say: My Opinion is through my experiences only, and some may be worse off than others. But, yep, I've been thru
a few high grades, which are now awesome. If there is something I am missing, then feel free to let me know, as I do not understand
why the expensive therapy/vet stay, on a high-grade patella, yet we've been through high-grade patella surgery, and years have gone by.
Is there a chance, without the therapy, their will be a problem years from now? Just curious, as I'm only looking out for the best of my dogs,
the rescues, and owners, who are facing this. It is soooo common.
