leighw Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) My maltese x Holly tore her acl last year, had it repaired and last week did the same thing on the other leg. She was operated on last Thursday. Yesterday when I got home my JRT, Lenny, was limping on his back leg. Took him to the vet today - diagnoses, torn ACL, surgery booked for thursday. So I will have to confine two dogs for the next 6 weeks - not something to look forward to. Edited July 10, 2012 by leighw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swizzlestick Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Unfortunately, not all that uncommon. I know quite a few people who have multiple dogs that have had to repair both ACL's, on both dogs. Many dogs that do rupture one ACL, will eventually do the other one too. A combination of their conformation, play styles/activities, and bad luck I guess. All the best with their surgery and recovery. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
