ACL Tear

Steve Kiwczak from Lakewood Ranch, FL -

I have a 5 year old Australian Terrier. She jumped off a bed and is limping. I immediatedly took her to the vet. After some x-rays he concluded her right rear leg had a torn acl. He prescribed an anti inflamatory for two weeks with complete rest. Six weeks later no big improvement. If nthere was no improvement acl surgery was needed. After investigating the procedure I'm not sure if this is the only option. Would a brace work? Would glucosamine for dogs help? There is also a chance of reinjury after surgery. If I don't do the surgery would her limping cause other joints to be damaged? I am not sure if all that is involved is worth going through the agony for 3-6 months for my dog? I also can't afford the $1200 cost. I would have to do a payment plan. Any suggetsions, Help?!
