Took my boy to the vet today after he came up lame yesterday. The vet examined him (no xray) and diagnosed CCL tear. Recommended surgery and sent us to a surgeon. Being the skeptic that I am, I researched this and found many sources saying conservative mgmt can be just as effective if not more. My boy is a 9 year old Yorkie weighing 10lbs. We decided to go conservative mgmt route. Any info, tips, comments, suggestions are welcomed! Not ruling surgery out, but would like to avoid general anesthesia + the knife if possible.
Thank you wonderful people!!
