Thread: Anybody had their dog blow an ACL joint?

14 weeks on and she can run like nothing had happened – not that I encourage it.
She is just a companion dog around the section and local street. I will never take her around another trap line again.
Despite her confinement to a baby pen and our care of the invalid for many weeks on toilet duties – the bone at the bottom of the wedge split – but had rebuilt well by the time of the six week follow up Xray.
I have had a couple of deep sleeps on the table in the last couple of months – so she can stay home with me.

Ouch

Update on this... Old boy got put down a year ago, leg was getting worse and mobility just wasn't there, made it to 14 so not bad for a collie

Sorry to hear about the old fella going, it can be hard to decide when they've had enough.
Yeah 14 is a pretty good run, it seems like they never seem to have enough time
