Well Eli and Treo were playing a few weeks back and somehow Eli managed to damage his CL... We're taking him in Tuesday so the vet can sedate him, Xray, and determine if it's a complete tear or just partially torn.
I've been reading some online about it and the articles are half and half... some say surgery works, some say decreased activity/pain meds work just as well.. He's already on Deramax for his spine issues, so that helps some I guess. Everyone has said surgery or no surgery, arthritis will still show up in the knee, so its a toss up I guess. He's 3 years old, ~70 pounds, not overweight by any means... he doesnt quite fit the 'general' category of dogs who get this injury, so it's kind of annoying that it happened. Especially since my other half just lost her job this past week.. the company is most-likely closing up shop in two weeks (1100 employees...).
Was wondering if anyone's had to go through this with their dog, What you opted for, etc?
