Need help in finding a place to do a cruiciate repair
Looking to see if any of the RTFers have used the NCSU vet hospital for TPLO repair? I believe its the next step for my lab and wanted some feed back. Any other place in the VA/NC area that you had a good experience with would be great. Looking for someone to do a good job and be reasonable with the price.
Have you talked to them? When we contacted them last year they weren't doing TPLO but using some new procedure. They were also way more expensive than anywhere else we checked into. Ended up going to VA Tech and had a good experience.
No I have not talked to them yet. Have used them for other ortho issues and had a good experience. I just figured they did them. Im willing to go other places. Just want to find the best place that isnt going to just try and take my money.
My wife worked at a clinic in Raleigh NC for a while and they used Dr Tudor for any tplo or any bone/cartilage related issuses, she travels also. I hope this helps some. http://www.tarheelvets.com/about_tvss/3339
Im much closer to the one in Carolina. Ill see if my vet will give me a referral to them. My vet is trying medicine and laser therapy for the next 4 days but Im thinking ACL. 6yo came up lame on the right leg. Worse after resting. Today the limp is almost gone and the vet said she didnt think it was ACL right off the bat. Im keeping my fingers crossed but Im looking into where to go if it is ACL.
Anyone that used the carolina hospital are their prices reasonable?
You do not need a referral. Call and say you want a possible ccl tear evaluated and go soon. Hopefully it's not a ccl. Dr Spod will go over your whole dog like no one else.
They are good so prices are not rock bottom. Best not to worry about that until you get the bill.
I'm confident that one way or the other, you will know what is going on with your dog and understand your options after consulting with Dr. Lee.
Here's hoping that the news is better than you fear.
