Surviving The Post-Op: After Your Dog's ACL/CCL Surgery

You're probably all worried, I was too. Let me start with the good news. Based on my experience with Jasmine's bi-lateral ACL surgeries I truly believe that the post-op recovery is actually going to be much easier for your dog than it will be for you. Dogs are survivors. They don't sulk or complain, they take what there is and make the best of it. They have an amazing ability to adapt and make things work. This is probably one of the times when the difference between a dog and a human attitude is the most profound. The other good news is that from the moment of the surgery your dog is on his way to get well. That's what I kept telling Jasmine--and more importantly myself--when I was counting the days. You are one day closer to getting your life back. And then two … Prepare your home It will make it easier for both you and your dog if you plan ahead and get some things ready before the surgery. Of course, if you have a little dog some of the points below w

Cruciate Ligament (ACL/CCL) Surgery Post-Op Care: Example Plan

For most dogs, the best treatment for a ruptured cruciate ligament (ACL/CCL) is surgery. When Jasmine had torn hers , I didn't want to hear this. "Knees love being operated on," said her vet. Today, knowing what I know now, I have to agree with that. Making the decision of putting your dog through surgery is never easy. And you still have to decide which of the available techniques to go with. Regardless of which surgery you choose, however, the post-operative care and physical therapy are paramount to the successful outcome. Make no mistake, this is where the real work begins . I cannot stress this enough. What you do after the surgery is what makes or breaks the recovery. That is why I'm very disturbed by the fact that so many people I talk to have not been told this and have not received any instructions in this regard. I remember seeing this Yellow Lab in the park, who was visibly favoring his rear left leg. When asked, the owner told

The Whites Of My Dog’s Eyes Are Swollen: Extraocular Myositis In Dogs

by Lindsay Stordahl of ThatMutt.com I want to share my dog’s experience with extraocular myositis (also called polymyositis) in the hope that it might help someone else get proper treatment for his or her dog. According to the canine eye specialist who eventually diagnosed my dog, extraocular myositis is caused by an allergic reaction that makes the muscles in the back of the dog’s eyes begin to swell. The first symptoms When my Lab mix Ace was around 18 months old, he looked a little different one morning. I couldn’t quite figure out why, and I said to my husband, “I think Ace’s eyes are swollen.” The change was so subtle that I thought I was imagining it. Or maybe my dog’s eyes had always been that way, and I just hadn’t noticed. It’s hard to explain, but the white parts of his eyes were ever so slightly “puffy.” Ace was acting normal, though, so I still thought I might be imagining things. This was on a Friday. The next day, I knew my dog’s eyes were definitely swoll
