What’s Inside

  • Knee ligament basics: An introduction to the stifle, or knee, and cranial cruciate ligament injuries, often referred to as a torn ACL in dogs.
  • Partial and complete tears: Discussion of ligament deterioration, knee instability, and changes in mobility.
  • Veterinary assessment: An overview of physical examinations, X-rays, and manual instability tests described in the guide.
  • Surgical approaches: Sections on TPLO, TTA, lateral suture, and TightRope procedures, including the author’s discussion of differences and considerations.
  • Nonsurgical and complementary topics: Discussion of conservative management, braces, prolotherapy, regenerative medicine, supplements, and Eastern herbal support.
  • Recovery questions: Topics to discuss about postoperative care, rehabilitation, complications, costs, and choosing a surgeon.

Prepare for a Decision That Fits Your Dog

There is more to a care decision than the name of a procedure. The guide encourages consideration of your dog’s activity, age, size, overall health, and knee stability, alongside your family’s circumstances. Use it to organize questions for your veterinarian or veterinary surgeon, not to choose treatment on your own.

Published in 2017, this ebook includes treatment recommendations, weight-based guidelines, recovery schedules, cost estimates, and information about complementary therapies.

This educational resource cannot diagnose a ligament tear, determine whether surgery is needed, or guarantee recovery. Do not perform knee instability tests at home or delay veterinary assessment while trying the approaches described. Sudden inability to bear weight or marked difficulty moving warrants prompt veterinary attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this guide cover dog ACL and CCL injuries?

Yes. It discusses cranial cruciate ligament, or CCL, injuries of the canine knee, which are often called torn ACL injuries in everyday conversation. It introduces partial and complete tears and the care options the authors describe.

Which surgical procedures does it discuss?

The ebook includes sections on TPLO, TTA, lateral suture, and TightRope procedures. Use these as background for asking your veterinarian or veterinary surgeon about current evidence, suitability, risks, and recovery expectations for your dog.

Can it help me decide whether my dog needs surgery?

It can help you prepare questions, but it cannot make that decision. A veterinary assessment is needed to evaluate your dog’s injury and circumstances. Its 2017 weight guidelines, complementary therapy claims, costs, and recovery schedules should not replace current individualized advice.

How do I receive my free copy?

Add the ebook to your cart at no charge and complete checkout to receive the 28-page PDF download. This is a digital resource, not a printed book, so no physical item will be shipped.
