If she did tear something she really should have gone to the vet asap because if it was her CCL and it was not surgically repaired it’s going to cause her massive arthritis. Luxating Patella causes strain on the CCL so when you fix it on an older dog then you are very likely to have their CCL tear and cause another surgery. It is also a surgery that you do not want a regular vet to perform you would want an orthopedic surgeon to do it. I’m not found of the practice of vet chiropractors. For arthritis my girl takes meloxicam and CBD oil and is doing great!
