As stated above: I would never have a regular vet do surgery on a torn CCL. I have had a couple of my pups who had this surgery and multiple fosters in the past. I only use board certified surgeons. That's just me.
I have never had to do any type of rehab at all. I definitely would not be putting my pup in a swimming pool, but that's just me. I have taken pups to PT for other things and it is an exact science. There are specific exercises that are done based upon condition.
Good luck with your pup's surgery. |
