Preparations for Surgery To prevent further injury, we needed to keep Beau quiet. No running, no jumping and lots of rest. We were given Metacam for pain and Acepromozin as a sedative. It just about killed me to see my happy, active dog so sleepy – even though I knew it was for his own […]

Our Dog Beau and His CCL Injury

By on December 22, 2009 in Dog Knee Surgery, Owner Experiences
