Today Bella goes under the knife to replace the ruptured ACL on her left hind leg. She's getting a procedure called Lateral Suture Technique (or LST) where the vet will basically drill holes in her bones and attach nylon string to stabilize the knee joint. The procedure has a high success rate and as long as we keep Bella's weight down she should be able to enjoy a happy and productive life for the rest of her years. However, as with all procedures, there's a chance that something could go wrong, so here's hoping that everything goes smoothly.
Oh, and she's down to 36 pounds from 39, which was part of the reason why she tore the ligament in the first place. We just need to get her to ~33 and the risks of re injury will be minor.
