I suppose we've been lucky. A recent study by the Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences found that Tripawds maybe susceptible to future orthopedic conditions after an average of 21 months. Maggie's occurred after 2.5 years. Now we think about about it there were some warning signs, the latest being fluid on her knee. So when she went lame when moving some sheep it wasn't a surprise when the Vet told us her cruciate had torn. A visit to the specialist confirmed this. Poor Maggie! At least Tripawds having TPLO's isn't unusual these days and they have a good recovery rate, but Maggie isn't the best patient so it will be a slow process and then she'll back on all three legs.
