My 2.5 y/o lab mix Tootsie who is the apple of my eye came up lam. The pain was crippling her and she went from happy beloved pup to miserable wretch in as little as 2 weeks. (still beloved) We went to our vet and had a month on antiinflamatories before they decided to test the ACL. her ligament was torn and we were refered to DR Rudd as one of the few vet's in goergia who did this type pf repair. He confirmed the dx and surgery was discussed, and of course we went for it. It has saved our happy home. as the vet said it would take some time for recovery, and it was expensive. But our pup is now the happy doggie she was.
