thanks as dee dee is not in pain either when i rub or manipulate leg but orthapedic i talked to said there is not much pain with acl rupture as the initial pain is when it happens and dog can walk and move around it is just when they make a certain move the leg goes out
my friend who ruptured her acl said same thing as she played soccer and walked on it for years but she said when she moved a certain way it would pinch and give out --- this is what i notice with dd is if she moves a certain way her leg slides underneath. Some have said on my maltese group that it is very painful but some have said not -- so hoping this is not
i heard that breaks are very painful so knew it was not a break but fractures are less painful and it just hurts with pressure applied on ground so why i did xrays asap but when it was not that we became more concerned acl or soft tissue but now two weeks later still not 100% i am leaning more towards acl injury and scared.
