Re: Torn CCL (aka ACL)

Hmmm....paws/toes do look different. MY fingers and toes are crossed that is ALL it is. No fun but better than other things. I'm holding off on PM'ing you that list...it's more appropriate for an ortho anyway.....mostly if the vet think's it's NOT the paw....Sedation for x-rays of knees, hips and spine, and check for a drawer. GOOD LUCK!!!!!! Let us know ASAP please. Breath is held...Charleigh says to tell Vikka that CCL surgery is a REAL drag and that she hopes she has a broken toe.

Dogs with CCL tears do lay on the affected side tho...Charleigh plonked herself down on her TPLO leg first thing when she came home. Maybe they think it's protected that way?
