ACL recovery without surgery? (Partially torn ACL). **Update** he's doing great!

I just thought I would give an update in case anyone else had a similar issue. Vallis is much better after a few months of crate rest/modified crate rest. His limp is completely gone and he seems perfectly fine. We have even been on a few hikes in the mountains and he's done great. I'm really relieved he is so much improved.

Great update! Thank you for letting us know!

As it happens, my neighbor was asking about ACL issues earlier this week. I will send her the link to this thread!

Such good news, especially as we know how much your family enjoys its hikes - and where you live, anyone would!

Wonderful news. Thanks for the update.

Thanks! We're glad he's doing better too.

I'm so glad he's doing better! I have to say I'm not a big fan of rimadyl long term because it's hard on the liver. Tramadol is basically the same thing but not hard on the liver.
