[NAGDU] canine crutiate ligament problem

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Dan.
Sorry to hear this.  Someone who used to be on the list had this problem a few years ago.  His dog had surgery, and, after a rest period to recover, I think the dog was fine and able to resume working.  I'm sure your vet will be able to advise you.
Good luck.
Tracy

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
