The last three days he's been symptom free, I have been resting him, and I guess we'll see what happens. Currently he is a little groggy but just jumped up on the couch which he was having trouble doing.

Also, I was given the opportunity to send his xrays off to a canine radiologist for further examination. I asked the vet what he would do and he said he seriously doubted a radiologist would see anything they aren't seeing.

Right now it's all good. I'll post an update if anything changes, and thanks for the replies.

If it is the ACL then waiting is a terrible idea because it will cause absolutely debilitating arthritis. I would go to specialist.
