Hey guys,
My girl has been diagnosed with a partial CCL (ACL) tear, even though she can still run like crazy. She does limp for a couple of steps when she gets up from resting. Xrays were taken and reviewed by my Vet and a Specialist at another clinic. My Vet feels surgery would be best because:
1. if left to heal on its own, a partial tear has close to a 50% chance to someday develop into a full tear
2. also, there is a stronger chance of arthritis developing if it is left to heal on its own
I am setting up a visit with the Specialist for his assessment and recommendations. I'm just wondering if any of you have gone thru this process, and how were the results. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Surfer
