My 90 pound Olde English Bull dog had a torn ACL. Vet told me to let it heal they will heal on thier own by growing scare tissue over the area. We gave him 2 months of no running or playing and he was fine He has torn this ACL twice and is doing fine. His was a very bad tare. AGain I am not a vet, but for me I went with the less avasive I could with him. They put him on pain meds for a bit and he was fine. You can usually tell that it is a torn ACL if they are toe touching with that leg/foot. that is how I can tell when Bubba tears his.
Sure hope you fine what direction you want to go in and good luck with it. Please keep us posted.
