Surgery Usually Best for Dog's Ligament Tear

Sunday, May 28, 2006

Dr James Roush, a veterinarian at Kansas State University, issued a press release stating that special surgery is usually the best course of treatment for ligament tear in dogs.

The press release contains some pretty good reading for dog owners who've dealt with ligament tears in their dogs. It does, however, sound a bit promotional.

Nonetheless, I reprinted the entire press release here on DoggieNews. Visit "Special Surgery Usually Best for Dog's Ligament Tear".

  • I have a 5 year old "athletic" Australian Shepherd who suffered a crushed ACL. After 6 months of second opinions and research on alternative treatments, on May 5 he underwent the TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy). One interesting fact is that a reputable doctor will do thorough examination of the patient's HIPS before a TPLO procedure--ensuring there is not a chance of hip displaysia.
    The single, most difficult part of the procedure is the 8-week long confinement. It's killing us. We are now on week 4 and my dog's getting a little cranky. See some photos & more of the story at my blog, www.australian.shephoarder.typepad.com
