[NAGDU] canine crutiate ligament problem

[Charlene Ota]

Hi, Dan,  I've heard several times about dogs with knee troubles and they have surgery just like we humans do and it's very successful.  I'm assuming that's what you're talking about, correct me if I'm wrong.  Let us know what you find out.

Best,
Charlene

Hello, beautiful people.

Dan here, with the Parker Dog.

anyone her have experience with their dogs having a torn or damaged CCL...cranial crutiate ligament?? I'm sorry but the spelling is alluding me.

I  have  a situation  like this to deal with, I hesitate to write about personal stuff regarding my dog and what's happening but soto make it short that's a possible diagnosis for his reluctance to put weight on the back right leg, something that only became parent the last three days or so.

Please tell me publicly or privately about this, I'm very upset, and I can of course tll more details but anyway...I hope everyone's doing well.


I'm seeing a specialist tomorrow I'd like to be armed though with a bit 
more info about what other people with guide dogs might have experienced 
with this.



Goood news is that Parker is his happy-go-lucky self and he's been 
getting some rest the last few days and likes to sleep anyway, just like 
his owner--smile sorry had to try to lighten my mood a bit...Already saw 
the vet and so on.


Dan
