I am glad everything went well. I imagine you both will feel a little more at ease when she does come home. I think they worry about us as much as we worry about them at times.

It's tibial plateau leveling osteotomy. When a dog ruptures it's cruciate ligament they can level the tibia (leg bone) to remove the need for a cruciate ligament. Check out this link, it explains it better then I can.
