Ruptured Knee Need Advice. My little 13 year old boy ruptured his knee Christmas Morning, he slipped while walking across a piece of Christmas paper. I feel Like an idiot and terrible mom for not having the wrap in trash can. He could barely walk Christmas day and night; took him to vet on Thurs. Can't go on anti inflamatories due to pancreatitis. other options are to let it heal on it's own. Artheritis may develop and he may damage the other knee due to using it too much. Surgery $1500. May still end up with the same problems that he has without surgery or may provide some relief. Either way I don't think he will ever be back to normal; long walks, and jumping like a wild man. I love him so much; he really is my heart. Anyone have this experience: What did you do? Please offer advice; I really need it. Thanks |
forgot to add to ruptured knee He ruptured the back left knee. injury similar to the one athletes get. |
I would get a second opinion from a board certified ortho surgeon. You can find one at www.acvs.org The quote you were given sounds very low so I am guessing your regular vet is offering to do it. Don't blame yourself....these pups are prone to knee injuries. |
My dog was 11.5 when he did the same thing, and he had surgery with a board certified surgeon. He full recovered and runs and jumps and plays like a pup. He's now 13.5. |
