Guest kelli123 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Was wondering if anyone has heard news about these, or have used them for a torn or strained curciate? in humans this would be considered a torn ACL.My Gracie 3yrs old has torn hers. This was a option to try to see if it will heal on its own. next option would be surgery. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

GreyKarma Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 If it is torn I would consider the surgery. A ligament is like a rubber band if torn completely it is not going to go back together. Surgery replaces the ligament so that the knee functions properly. Arthritis sets up pretty fast in an untreated ACL.

macoduck Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The founder of the Therapaw company spoke at Dewey this year. Maybe one of her products could help, either before or after surgery. If you don't see anything on the site, try emailing her. therapaw Quote Freshy (Droopys Fresh), NoAh the podenco orito, Howie the portuguese podengo maneto Angels: Rita the podenco maneta, Lila, the podenco, Mr X aka Denali, Lulu the podenco andaluz, Hada the podenco maneta, Georgie Girl (UMR Cordella), Charlie the iggy, Mazy (CBR Crazy Girl), Potato, my mystery ibizan girl, Allen (M's Pretty Boy), Percy (Fast But True), Mikey (Doray's Patuti), Pudge le mutt, Tessa the iggy, Possum (Apostle), Gracie (Dusty Lady), Harold (Slatex Harold), "Cousin" Simon our step-iggy, Little Dude the iggy ,Bandit (Bb Blue Jay), Niña the galgo, Wally (Allen Hogg), Thane (Pog Mo Thoine), Oliver (JJ Special Agent), Comet, & Rosie our original mutt.
