Tightrope Repair and PRP – Precious

By Samantha Edwards on February 13, 2018 in CCL Injury, Dog Knee Surgery, Owner Experiences, Surgical Procedures, Tightrope Repair

Hi everyone…my boxer is 2.5 months short of 3 years. She has always been very active and an avid ball chaser and frisbee catcher. We noticed her limping on her hind right leg a few months ago, but when let outside bursts into a full run. Her limping worried us enough that we made an […]

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 […]

Conservative Management – Juni

By Samantha Edwards on November 25, 2016 in CCL Injury, Conservative Management, Dog Knee Conservative Management, Owner Experiences

My 6-and-half-year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Juni, injured his left hind leg last Monday. He was jumping on and off from the couch and just like that, he started to walk with his 3 legs and had his injured leg up. He was not crying or mourning…But still, he was hopping like a kangaroo! We rushed […]

Injury Misdiagnosis – Lucy

By Samantha Edwards on June 6, 2016 in Conservative Management, Dog Knee Alternative Treatment, Dog Knee Conservative Management, Non-Surgical Options, Owner Experiences, Recovery

Our 8-year-old Goldendoodle Lucy was at our dog boarder while we were on vacation and we received an email that she had injured herself running while off leash. We picked her up a few days later and realized it was much worse than what they had described; she was trying to walk on 3 legs, […]

Undecided Treatment – Roxy

By Samantha Edwards on February 25, 2016 in CCL Injury, Owner Experiences

My Roxy girl is 2.5 yrs old and weighs 55 pounds. I took her to the vet 2 weeks ago because she was throwing up. She was diagnosed with Giardia and pancreatitis. She stopped throwing up immediately after being treated. A few days later I took her for a hike, our favorite activity. She came […]

Right Knee TPLO – Betty

By Mandie on January 9, 2016 in CCL Injury, Complications, Dog Knee Surgery, Owner Experiences, Recovery, Surgical Procedures, TPLO

Four weeks ago my 6-year-old Greater Swiss Mountain Betty, who is very active and very healthy, tore her cruciate ligament and began limping. We love our dog very much and of course took her to a vet who did x-rays and an exam and recommended a surgical hospital that had board certified surgeons who taught […]

Traditional Repair – Bridget

By Mandie on December 31, 2015 in CCL Injury, Dog Knee Surgery, Owner Experiences, Recovery, Surgical Procedures, Traditional Repair

My beagle, Bridget, ruptured her cruciate ligament (with partial meniscus tear) in April, 2015, and we chose the Traditional Repair for a couple of reasons: Bridget is an older dog (rescued her over 10 years ago when she was already an adult), and she also has arthritis. Because of her age, I wanted the least […]

TTA Surgery- Fry

By Samantha Edwards on November 27, 2015 in Owner Experiences, Surgical Procedures, Symptoms, TTA

This story is hot off the presses as we are on day 9 of what I expect will be a lengthy process. Fry is our 6-year-old Corgi mix (looks all Corgi to me). All these years he has been happy and healthy until the second week of July 2015. We have an acre of land […]

American Bulldog with 2 TPLOs on the Same Leg – Lucy

By Mandie on June 11, 2013 in Dog Knee Surgery, Owner Experiences, TPLO

Lucy was diagnosed with a Cruciate tear, in both knees. One, more painful than the other. So, I contacted a local vet who had an Ortho vet that comes in and does the surgery….all sounded perfect as we both work and this would be a local office instead of having to travel. (Costs $3400.00) So, […]
