 ACL surgery
Yesterday our pom fell in the kitchen. She was walking across the tile floor and just fell with all 4 legs straight out (kinda like Bambi on ice). I thought that her hip was injured but it turns out that she has blown the ACL in her back leg. Little thing didnt even cry! She is 10 1/2 yrs old,heart is good,blood work is good,hips are good,she is about a lb over weight (8lbs instead of 7lbs). We have started pain and anti-inflamitory meds to help her. She is not allowed to walk on the tile anywhere in the house for right now,just to much of a challenge with her injury.
I understand the surgery for repairs and was needing to hear what others have done for recovery. I want to make sure that I am prepared before we go into this. What is usually recommended. Thank you in advance for your time. |
