My 8 year old male tore both knee ligaments.  After recovering from  the 1st 
knee surgery I took him back for the 2nd and the vet said that the 1st  knee 
does not look good.  No muscle in the rear and that the 2nd knee  getting done 
would not help the dog to become normal.  His hips and spine  are good, he 
eats and can use the potty fine.  The vet says that arthritus  will set in to 
the 
2nd leg and he will just get worse.  People are saying I  should put him 
down.  He is at the vet now.  He is my favorite  dog.  Some say I am being 
selfish 
not to put him down, that he is not going  to have any quality of life.
 
I have 2 hours to get back with the vet.  Any input  please.
