My friend's dog tore a ligament, what should she do? General Dog Discussions
My best friend's golden retriever tore his ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on his back left leg. She took him to the vet and the vet said he would need surgery (which would cost $4,000). She doesn't have that kind of money, but she doesn't want to see her dog suffering. I'm worried because the dog is now putting all his weight on his back right leg. The same thing could happen to his right leg because of all the weight. Are there any alternatives to surgery?
