I had a male back in the early 80's that tore his ALC, I got several opninions and one said I could wait and see, but when I took him to the specialist he said to do the surgery as he also needed his kneecap fixed. Back then it cost 7 or 9 hundred and he did fine. Even after the surgery he held that leg up when standing. Maybe a specialist can advise you as to how long you should wait t see if it will get better on it's own. When Zorro first did it he screamed but while waiting for 2nd opinion and specialist he did not appear to be in pain, but I worried about later in life. I know how difficult it is to find 4000 for surgery. Maybe you could find a vet that can do it for less? |
