Cranial cruciate ligament rupture.
What about it?
Hi all!
I was wondering if anyone has any advice from experience of a dog rupturing their cruciate?
Our Yorkshire terrier has done hers in and the vets are being great but they're not really giving specifics on how to help. She's had blood work done to make sure she's on the right pain meds but were5yet to have x-ray confirmation, just the vet feeling about a bit.
They've said rest and relaxation and short on leash walks only. She's 15 so I know surgery isn't going to be an option.
We have a crate for her but she's old and was never properly crate trained ( we inherited her when my mum passed) so she doesn't stay still. Especially if we go out she just turns circles in the crate. She can't have treats as she has a very funny tummy and anything too fatty gets brought back up.
They also found a heart murmur that no one has ever picked up on before, even though she's had regular check ups, including one just a few days before she had her accident.
Any ideas on how to help would be much appreciated.
