Our little dog (9kg) has been limping on and off for a week, took to vets and suspected injury to his cruciate ligament (not sure exactly how bad as X-ray needed to determine). Vet has advised rest - no jumping up on sofas/stairs and short lead walk round the block each day for two weeks and metcam to see if it heals by itself (which apparently it can in small dogs!?). Vet wants to see if any better after two weeks and if not X-ray and then surgery 😭
Just wondered if anyone else has had the same issue and it got better with rest or any alternative therapies that helped prevent the need for surgery?
