My dog (Labrador 11 years old has been limping for a month with a back leg injury.
my son took him to the vet today and the diagnosis is a knee problem - "Ruptured cranial Cruciate ligament".
I am now under pressure from wife and kids to commit to surgery (around $4500) but my instinct tells me to wait for a month to see if it heals thyself.
Also I have had knee problems before including surgery (I know I am not a dog) and one of my knees healed thyself.
The pressure is mounting and Im digging in at the moment as I need more info to make a decision.
The dog is limping but doesn't seem like great pain. And weve all had leg injuries without getting an operation
Has anyone had a similar injury with their dog.
my concerns are:
- is the vet correct (I only had a meniscle tear in my knee)
- will an Xray prove it
- Forums
- Pets
- my dog needs a knee operation
my dog needs a knee operation
