I suggest finding a vet that specializes in TPLO surgery. Not all vets can fix a torn acl some will just try to patch it. (Quacks). Find a specialist and they will give you your options, but TPLO surgery is a permanent fix. Our pittie had it years ago and is still rompn like a puppie. Well worth the money. Just find someone who does this for a living. I can't stress this enough. Here is a link.

Playing Frisbee is the number one cause of a torn acl in dogs.

TLPO surgery...definitely should be done by a specialist. However, I would like to state again...I would try to limit activity for a couple of months and see if it improves on it's own.

I used to show Dogs, specifically Rottweilers and Brussels Griffons and know many people who have had dogs with this issue. NOT ALL OF THEM NEED SURGERY! Depends on how much damage is there. Vets of course will not tell you that...but I know first hand that some do heal FINE!
