Monique, the procedure that was done on your husky is what was done on our chow mix almost 15 years ago. She was 11 at that time. We were off leash walking when it happened. She saw a rabbit cross the dirt road and went after it. When she came back she was limping though still putting weight on her leg. I thought that maybe she had just sprained her leg. I waited for a month and when it didn't get better I took her in to our vet at that time. He was great with her and me. Explained what had happened and showed me the knee moving from side to side. Not supposed to do that. He also said that chows have more of a vertical knee than other dogs. It was a $600 fix and it did seem to fix her. She was walking on it the next day to the doctor's surprise. She recovered well, and quickly. It was years later, about 4 that she finally passed from cancer. Had I known then what I know now I would have had her treated much differently.
