God bless you and your girls 🙏

Our bully blew out his first CCL (ACL) in 2020 at 8 years old, and his second one in 2022 at 10. Due to liver issues he is not a candidate for CCL (ACL) surgery. At $2,200.00 a leg, 12 weeks recovery time, and about 90% of dogs just blow them out a second time and need a second surgery, I want to suggest to you REALLY REALLY do your research on CCL tears, treatment, long term pain management, etc. Read online, talk more to your vet, talk to other vets. Don't rush into an expensive surgery just because your vet says you have to. We manage his pain and movement with Deramax (prescription) and Dasiquin (over the counter). He still hikes with us, goes up and down the stairs, plays ball and fetch (less now because he's 12 but that's just age), he still runs around like a nut! Pain management is an option, I just want you know that. I know it's so important and can be so hard to make the best decision for our babies
