As the picture showCondition: They will always be there for you and protect you and of course they are cute but most importantly they will never love someone as much as they love you. I always wanted a dog because they are loyal, cute and always protect you and what I said earlier is that they will always be there for you. Like a couple of years ago my first dog died in a car accident and I was heartbroken for months.
But we got another dog named Buttercup and she almost died because of worms in her stomach and crowded quarters in the pound. I love her so, so much. I would like to apprentice while you amend your website, how can i subscribe for a blog web site? The account helped me a applicable deal. I have been a little bit acquainted of this your broadcast offered vibrant transparent concept. These quotes are beautiful. They made my evening and my life. I love your post! So funny and thoughtful and totally how I feel sometimes! The surgery was rough for her. Fast forward to this past weekend and she is limping on the other leg!
Thanks for sharing your story and wish us luck as we try to go this route this time. I hope you find a vet or a rehab specialist that can provide some support in addition to the resources listed here if you decide to go with conservative management route. Great post, and we can totally relate!! The worst part is that when we went to a rehab vet, he also insisted upon surgery! So eight weeks of CM and our dog is doing great! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
She recovered fairly well in spite of a hellish winter here in CT, with below zero temps and lots of ice. Just 2 weeks ago she blew the other knee out and we decided to not do another surgery. As soon as I turned down surgery I was pretty much kicked to the curb by my Vet of 20 years!
She told me to rest her for 2 weeks and that was it. I called back today and was not offered an appointment,any info on rehab, supplements etc and when I asked the tech about Braces she had no idea. She asked the Vet and who said she does not recommend them. No reason why was given.
Your blog has given me hope that maybe I can do this. I really need a new Vet too! I hope you find a vet or rehab specialist that can help you guys through this! I am just 4 days in with my 7 year old lab-Roscoe. He is on meds until we head back in 1 week to talk to a surgeon. Not sure wether I will do the surgery due to cost. Insurance does not pay for everything.
I feel like I am a bad dog owner not being able to afford is care but everybody knows how much we love our Roscoe!!! Do you have update on your dog??? Is the therapy working??? My dog Birdie is doing well. We still see her physical therapist 2x a month — not only for her leg, but also for her back which was painful before the ACL tear stuff.
Birdie is a really laid back dog, so the therapy and her current condition 2 years later not perfect, but totally mobile are a success for us! My 2 yr old Corgi is going through the same process. Our vet said holistic approaches work well with partial tears but not full tears. Yes it was a full tear. We are on this path too. Daisy has been to see the vet twice and has an appointment with a physical therapist on Friday. She is doing better on carprofen and tramadol and I have great hope that therapy will be of immense help.
We had a vet who casted one of our dogs with an acl tear years ago. He did not recommend surgery right off. Plus rest and pain meds. He was only two when it happened. But the complication is that it is impossible to know whether your dog has a complete or partial year without doing surgery or MRI. Birdie was diagnosed using manual manipulations drawer test. My 8 year old beagle completely tore her acl it did the drawer thing. I had to go on a trip for 3 weeks. When I came back she was limping bad again.
She started getting better her limp was less exaggerated. Thoughts and advice is welcome. We see our vet regularlY. Please give some advice. My 12 year old dog, Spike, had ACL surgery when he was six. He had the more expensive surgery at the time, as he was a young and active healthy dog. The following months after the surgery were rough on both him and us, but we got through it. Of course, the savings account suffered greatly for it.
I immediately enrolled in a pet insurance plan, anticipating that it may happen to him with his other leg.
Joe counts 48 heads and legs among the chickens and dogs on his farm. Each chicken has two legs and each dog has four; together the 48 of 48 chickens and no dogs, which left me 38 legs short of what I wanted. “Four legs good, two legs bad.” This phrase, which occurs in Chapter III, constitutes Snowball's condensation of the Seven Commandments of Animalism, which.
Fast forward six years to this morning, as he bounded down the steps yes my old dog still bounds. Another torn ACL, this time in his left leg. While the pet insurance should cover some of the cost, I hate the thought of having him go through it all again. Thank you for your story, I will definitely consider conservative treatments, and ask those questions when we talk to the specialist this week.
Hi Kim, Please check out all the links at the end of this blog for advice, products, and alternatives to surgery. Each dog is a little different. Daisy is using the MuttKneeBrace. They ensure a proper fit. After 16 weeks, Sadie our 9-year old Shih Tzu has started walking with only conservative management!! We were told she would have to have surgery for a full tear to her ACL. The surgeon said to give it 8 weeks to see if she would get better.
I am so glad I did not give up!!! I was diligent in giving her Knox gelatin gelatin helps my knees , Omega-3 supplements and a joint supplement. The joint supplement is an advanced supplement for injured dogs sold at a national pet store. I also sprinkle about a teaspoon of gelatine on her food 2x daily.
I do not measure. Unfortunately, I was not as diligent as I should have been in restricting her activity at first.
We were not at home during the first few months of her injury and controlling her activity was difficult. I started making it a priority to keep her activity level down and carrying her as much as I could to go outside. I think the key was not letting her go up or down stairs. I did not use a brace or therapy….
She is still holding her leg up a lot, but I see so much hope and improvement. It is so nice to see her actually walking again! I know it is going to be a long year of work, but I am trying to protect her other leg as well. I have read not to let a vet try to do a drawer test on her once she has started to heal, so I am going to heed that advice at our next appointment. When she is being groomed, my groomer knows to be cautious of her injury as well.
Sadie has had 2 bladder surgeries for bladder stones, and will need another one soon, so we are so happy to have learned about conservative management! After 4 weeks with a MuttKnee Brace and 8 weeks of restricted activity my dog Daisy is walking without a limp when the brace is off! I ended up getter her a brace from Woundware and it worked wonders.
I was happy to get my walking partner back and get joy hearing about other success stories about owners who have gone through the same thing. Thanks for letting us know! Our 12 yr Beagle ruptured his cruciate ligament in May. Due to his 10 yr history of epilepsy we were reluctant to go the surgical route but sought specialist advice from a surgeon who said it was his only option. As he also ridiculed all the research I had done and undermined what our own vet was doing, we stuck to our guns and managed him conservatively.
After a month, by which time backache was my 24hr companion, we decided to let him do his own thing, within reason and by August he was back on his usual walks and a happy hound once more. Some of the folks who have commented here seemed to have a lot of success with them. You know you have a sick beagle when food holds no interest — but fortunately he has started drinking since his anti-biotic injection. Daisy saw the vet on Saturday and she is healing well!
She has been wearing the MuttKnee Brace since July. She is off pain meds and doing strengthening exercises for her leg. I hold up each of the good paws for 10 seconds and help her balance, walking backwards, and stepping through a ladder. She thinks it is more training like she had for therapy dog. Which she failed because she barked! My puppy Thor is 2 months old.
He has no noticeable swelling. Next I tried a custom posh dog knee brace which was much more substantial to support the knee and well made. In addition, states and local governments have passed laws and ordinances that allow the government to take action against dogs that are considered dangerous. She put partial weight on it. Is he jumping into the lake in pain because he knows I love to watch him swim?
We was outside playing and he loves to chew on stuff and then run off. He slipped and started crying and it scared me really bad. I picked him up and took him inside and he was limping on his right rear leg. After a few hours he got up and was stretching his knee and it seemed fine. At one moment I was sitting with him and just lightly rub the leg he was limping on and he cried out. I rushed him to the vet in town and they examined him and said that we should look into surgery.
He is walking but still Limping so what do you think? It takes a while for an all to heal. I would definitely give it more than two days! Look for a vet in your area that offers treatment other than surgery. I had a tow year old do well on meds and rest and now my seven year old is doing well on meds rest and a muttkneebrace. She is off pain meds and working on strengthening her leg. This happened in July.
Wishing you both well! Carry her as much as you can and do not let her go up stairs. I was told that surgery was needed with a complete ACL tear that my dog had. After I started really limiting her mobility and giving her supplements….. Do not ever rush to surgery without research!
My pup has had 2 bladder surgeries for bladder stones that she had to have. But after researching about leg injuries … I know that in most cases they heal after time. It took months ….
