Dorie’s ACL injury journey started in November 2019 as I was rushing to get ready for work on a Friday morning. I had just let her outside to use the bathroom and she made her normal rounds of barking at the deer and letting the neighbors know she was up. When she was coming back […]

By on August 24, 2018 in CCL Injury, Complications, Dog Knee Surgery, Owner Experiences, TPLO

Back in January 2018 my dog tore one of his CCL and I was told he was going to need surgery. I was not excited about the idea of surgery. I researched a little about conservative methods, but for an active dog like mine, it didn’t seem to work as well. I went to see […]

TPLO Complications – Blu

By on November 25, 2016 in CCL Injury, Complications, Conservative Management, Dog Knee Surgery, Owner Experiences, Recovery, Surgical Procedures, TPLO

Initially we tried conservative management with my pit/shepherd mix Blu because I did not want to put him through surgery. We had some success with that for about a year until I got another dog and he reinjured it rough housing. We tried CM again but this time he wasn’t improving so we made the […]
