[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HELP!!! 20 lb. 15 Year Old Poodle. Aug. 2019. Limping all summer. The place in Richmond who only does Torn ACL is Good??? Every Vet comes In at $2,500 to $4,000. This Is Veterinary Racketeering! Any Suggestions?[/quote] Poodle is already at the upper end of his/her lifespan. I wouldn't waste the money. Just rest and manage pain.[/quote] +1. Try laser pain management. Is the ACL completely torn or is it a partial tear? I lived with a partial tear for more than 20 years before I finally ended up having surgery to fix it. When I went to the ortho with knee pain, he said I presented more like a meniscus tear than an ACL because my body had adapted to it for so long. He was surprised to see the MRI results and had been a ortho and Redskins team doc for more than 30 years. It's manageable if it's a partial tear.[/quote]
