Is ACL Surgery Really Worth It for Dogs? 🐶💬
🐾 If your dog has suffered a cranial cruciate ligament tear, you’ve probably come across surgical options like TPLO or Lateral Suture. But what happens after the surgery? Does it really help them live pain-free again?
🩺 In most cases, yes. The outcomes of ACL surgeries in dogs are overwhelmingly positive, especially when matched correctly to the dog’s size, health, and activity level. From regaining mobility to ditching long-term meds, many pups bounce back beautifully.
⚕️ TPLO tends to be the go-to for larger breeds, while Lateral Suture repair works well in small, older, or low-activity dogs. And while each case is unique, research shows over 90% of dogs return to a comfortable, active life. 🙌
