My lovely little jack Russell girl has torn / damaged her ACL in her back leg. She’s 9 years old and still very happy, playful and difficult to keep rested. Vet has given the option of either medical management or an operation to repair. She is insured so hopefully will be covered for the cost of this. Not sure if she’d be covered for the medical management of it as the bills may not come to enough each time as the excess is £75.
We don’t want her to be in pain long term so are thinking of the operation but not sure of the long term outcomes.
Any advice? She’s on yumove now as I’d read it was good for joints plus the vet has given her anti inflammatory medication and we need to return next week to decide.
Any advice please?
