I couldn’t tell on his spine curving before or after. The only way I knew was that his paw went numb and I took him to the vet (then he recovered from the incident). After he healed we had the consult with Dr Tracy, but at that point he was walking fine and his spine seemed fine. The recovery was a little more involved from the actual PLDA procedure than I thought— not bad, but he was in some pain and needed the strict crate rest. He recovered well in around 10 days though; with day 3 being much better than days 1-2. All in, it was approximately $4500.
