Bad news. Vet recommended surgery. Ruptured cranial cruciate ligament, which is the same as the ACL in humans.
Same thing he had done on his other leg 3 years ago.
Only thing that bugs me is how sure he is that surgery's necessary. He manipulated the knee and said he could feel looseness. Called it a level 4, the worst rating.
Ugh. Gonna give it some thought and see how he does on Rimadyl for a few days.
