Domino’s ACL Update
Posted in The Dog by CujoMarch 29th, 2006 - 12:29 PM
Jes just got back from taking Domino to the vet today for his two week checkup on his “suspected” torn ACL. The new doctor said he’s looking pretty good but we need to keep him on exercise restriction for another two weeks then gradually exercise him for two weeks after that. If any signs of limping reoccur he’s going back in for X-Rays to see what the exact damage is and what the procedure will be to fix it.
Dom has been off the medication they gave him since Monday night and has been walking limp free for over a week now anyway. He’s a ball of energy and just wants to run all over the place and it’s definitely killing me not being able to take him for a walk. The possible good news is that he doesn’t have a torn ACL as first assumed and we can dodge the surgery bullet and the price tag that comes along with it — which is a super bonus for us especially at this time.
He does have a surgery scheduled for April 18 however and this is to remove his macho third testical.
Poor pup.

He DOES have a torn ACL, but the meds were supposed to fix it. That, and being off his feet. The doctor still suspects that it is torn, but slowly mending itself. Hopefully he can fully recover and not cost us any more money!

Okay so I understood Jes’ relay of message wrong. He has a torn ACL that is healing itself so hopefully it keeps healing. Anyone have any voodoo heal the ACL ability out there?
