Hello everyone, On May 1, 2017 my 8-year-old Newfoundland was running around in the yard when I heard a yelp. I turned around and saw that she was on the ground and couldn’t get up. I helped her to get up on her feet but she could not walk on her injured right rear leg. […]

Conservative Management Progress – Howie

By on December 9, 2017 in CCL Injury, Dog Knee Conservative Management, Non-Surgical Options, Owner Experiences

So, last February, 2017, Howie suddenly was limping. We took him to our vet who, after several minutes, told us he needs TPLO surgery within 30 days or he will develop arthritis. Our first and only dog – we didn’t know – we took him to their recommended specialist (11 days later was the earliest). […]

Nadine’s (11-year-old Aussie/Border Collie, 48 lbs) rehab began about 10 weeks ago. She came back from running after something in the dark non-weight bearing on her left hind leg. My vet and I both prayed for a break, anything but an ACL injury. Yes, I get two stars as Nadine is considered to be in […]

By on January 11, 2017 in Conservative Management, Dog Knee Conservative Management, Owner Experiences, Recovery

Conservative Management vs. Surgery – Bella

By on November 9, 2016 in CCL Injury, Conservative Management, Dog Knee Conservative Management, Dog Knee Surgery, Owner Experiences

My dog Bella was also diagnosed with a partially torn ACL about 6-8 weeks ago. We have been trying a conservative approach. Our vet even gave me a lite sedative for her because she is so used to being so active. I have seen about a 20% improvement. She limps mainly when she first gets […]
