[QUOTE="Stressed2theHilt, post: 254205, member: 1409"] A torn ACL is not a death sentence. Most (not all) will self heal and show up later as arthritis. If you can afford the surgery great, go for it. If you can not afford it Chloe will still be fine. Don't let your vet or anyone else guilt you into doing something that you don't have the spare coin for. Yes Chloe will have some discomfort while she's healing but she will heal. Humans tear ACL's all the time and not all can afford to have it repaired. They live and usually end up with arthritis as they age. Try to keep Chloe calm for a few weeks. She's gonna run if she wants to but try to curb it as much as you can without running yourself ragged. Jiminy Cricket, what did they do before they learned how to do ACL surgery? Um....nothing and the dogs did fine. [/QUOTE]
