| Oh no! I'm sorry to hear this. I will definitely keep Jada, our little buddy, in our prayers and good thoughts. She's in good hands.

| I have seen some posts hoping this injury heals. Again, I will state for the benefit of all....CCL tears do not heal. The pup will walk on it again, but will have pain and severe arthritis as a result. Perhaps this link will explain it well for anyone interested: Yorkie Haven Rescue - Cranial Cruciate Ligament Tear Info Now, with that said, if a pup starts limping due to LP, then yes, crate rest and meds for two weeks is done. That will heal. Torn ligament? No. Many people don't like to hear that, but it is a fact. I have dealt with many of these injuries in both my own pups and fosters. It is difficult to have them face surgery, but certainly better than them suffering for the rest of their lives.

| This breaks my heart. Your little girl has always tugged at my heart. Jadabug found a special home when she joined your family. I pray that she will be free from pain.

That link I posted above is a good one in terms of lay language information about CCL tears. The surgeon I use wrote it.

| I am going to paste the information from that link about conservative treatment of cruciate tears: http://yorkiehavenrescue.com/cruciateligament.html Treatment Strategy Some veterinarians and pet enthusiasts recommend conservative treatment of CrCL tears for a period of time, but this is rarely successful and is not a good course of action to follow. Conservative treatment leaves the knee unstable for a long period of time allowing the onset of progression of osteoarthritis and meniscal tears. Osteoarthritis can progress very insidiously in the early stages, giving the impression that the dog is improving. This is because the lameness may appear to improve as the acute inflammation inside the knee joint subsides. However, as the arthritis progresses over the months and years to follow, lameness and stiffness ensue. Many pet owners have difficulty recognizing this and believe their dog has recovered. An orthopedic specialist can alert owners to the decreased function and pain the dog is actually experiencing. Dogs are very clever at modifying their posture, gait and activity level to lessen the pain and functional deficit they are experiencing. These clinical signs become more obvious when arthritis becomes severe. Unfortunately, surgical treatment of the CrCL may be less successful at this time due to the presence of irreversible arthritis and fibrosis of the joint. The best recommendation is surgical stabilization of the joint as soon as possible. It has been shown that early treatment of partial tears leads to preservation of the CrCL, minimal to no arthritis and a very low chance of future meniscal tears.

| Michelle, I am praying for your darling Jadabug. I can only begin to imagine how difficult it is to keep an active Yorkie from being active. She is in great hands with you.

| Oh, no, just seeing this. Poor little Jada. Sadly, it sounds like successful repair surgery is the best way to get her out of immediate pain, on the road to healing and avoid further chronic painful problems in the future. I'm so sorry this happened to sweet little Jada. I know how you feel when your baby is sick or hurt - heart-sick yourself. I'm praying for your girl and hoping for only the best for her. Keep us updated when you can.
