This week’s segment features Puffy the 7 year old boxer mix!! 🐾 Puffy came to us after becoming acutely lame on his hind leg. Upon examination, we found that Puffy had ruptured his cranial cruciate ligament (similar to the ACL in people) in his knee. CCL tears in dogs are a frequent injury that can result due to genetic predisposition or your pet being overweight. 80% of dogs that tear the CCL in one knee will tear the other knee within the first 2 years. Unfortunately, medical management is rarely successful and surgical repair will provide your pet with the best chance of full recovery. Puffy underwent our extracapsular lateral suture stabilization surgery and after 8 weeks he was cleared to return back to normal activity. This month we will be offering special deals on our CCL and other orthopedic procedures and products!! 🦴
