Sucks to see him like that, worried the other back leg might go and we'd have to put him down which I really don't want to do.
Surgery is too expensive. We are trying a weight loss regimen and keeping him on leash to limit the bursts of speed which I think is what keeps him triggering the tear.

Check out orthodog.com, if you haven't already. You may find some less expensive alternatives and ideas. Swimming is actually a great therapy for doggie joints.
The surgeries listed on the site sound a lot cheaper than you are running into up there.
