Cranial Cruciate Ligament Injury in Dogs

Just like people, dogs can rupture their cranial cruciate ligament. When injured, it can be very painful & will likely require surgery. If you notice your dog limping on a hind leg, you should bring it to the attention of your veterinarian. He or she can determine if it is a cruciate injury and the best treatment option available.
To learn more, we will listen to Dr. Brian Beale, a board certified veterinary surgeon.

Thanks for the video, just want to know a bit more. My Jack Russel / Border Terrier cross has just had this operation. She is very active dog jumping around like a mad thing and does everything at full speed. She would hold her leg up when trotting or running but walked ok on it. Did not stop her jumping up and down a lot. The x ray showed that it was damaged, she also has some early signs of arthritis in the same leg. She's only 7.

[@trickdogs2019]

Could a small cut on a pad also have your dog limp? Mine limps and holds her back paw up and sometimes when on grass she will run and walk on it like nothing, but once on the sidewalk she holds it up.....also would rest help meaning not let her run and play help? she is a year old?

had no idea Cushings can weaken the ligament.

Our mastiff needs surgery b/L on his knees. He has extensive osteoarthritis and scar tissue around his joints. He was a rescue and we just found out about his knees. Is there anything else you can recommend besides surgery? What are your thoughts? Thank you.

can i ask something,? my 4 dogs can't use their front legs for walking im just observing them and their body is shaking the other is crawling because he's unable to use his front leg.

[@luzepagan3012]

take the dogs to the vet.

[@AishaAlMidfa]

my dog suffered this at 6 months, will surgery stump his growth and will he limp for life?

[@karamvirjanda49]

[@JPerer]
