|  Best supplements for dogs post-ACL/patella surgery I was hoping to get some recommendations for supplements that would benefit my Yorkie post-ACL/patella surgery. My 10 year old had the surgery 3 months ago and still limps from time to time. Any suggestions would be great!!! Thank you so much!!! |

| After Callie had surgery I was told she would limp off and on for about a year and she did but now she doesn't limp at all. Our orthopedic surgeon recommended dasuquin.

| My 11 year old tore a CCL and meniscus and knocked his patella out. We didn't bother with supplements. He busted his extracapsular repair and had to undergo a revision surgery. He never limped but he lost a lot of muscle do we did rehab with him. He'll be 13 in two weeks and he walks perfectly.

| We use Dasuquin here as well. Hot Rod had lp surgery when he was younger, he's now almost 6. They each take it every other day. There are chewables and this way I know that they are getting it vs. the pills you pour over their food.
