My girl had this surgery in Dec 5 23, shes back to running and playing like normal. Ocassional favor of the leg as it seems to get stiff after a long sleep. Im sure like humans feeling a surgery spot after inclement weather, she does too.
Very accurate vide to our experience. The restriction was diffuclt, but very necessary. Short frequent walks, linger walks, adding hills, not letting her run, not letting her jump.
Crated for the frist week(ish). She eventually learned to escape her cone, had to fasten it to her colar.
Slept next to her crate, someone was with her always the first couple weeks. eventually restricting her to one room while at work, sleeping on the futon with me. It was very low so she didnt have to jump up and down.
Shes been back to regulsr activity for a couple months, and back to daycare this month.
Thankful to the skilled surgeon that helped her and fixed her torn CCL.
Shes an active girl that loves hikes, long walks, trail work days, canoe trips, and just chasing a ball or the occasional rabbit.
