Re: Torn ACL

So sorry to har about China, I hope whatever the vet gives you works.

I dont like to hear about ACL tears, Shadow had to get put down in January, he didn't recover after the surgery and his hips were stuffed as well (we found this out AFTER the surgery). He wasn't able to put ANY weight on his leg 6 weeks after the surgery and he also became snappy (probably due to pain). He lost 10kg in that 6 weeks and was also depressed. The vet told us the best thing we could do for him was to put him to sleep.

I really hope that China will respond to the meds.

Will be keeping her in my thoughts.

Trina
