ACL Surgery in Dogs
About Our ACL Surgery Services for Dogs
Bayshore Veterinary Hospital delivers expert ACL surgery services for dogs suffering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This ligament, located in the knee, plays a crucial role in stabilizing the joint. Dogs can tear this ligament during everyday activities like running, jumping, or twisting—common actions for playful dogs. Certain factors, such as breed and obesity, can also increase the risk of an ACL tear.
Signs your dog may have torn its ACL include limping, reluctance to play, swelling around the knee, and sensitivity when the area is touched. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your dog examined by one of our skilled veterinarians. We may perform an imaging test, such as an X-ray, to confirm the diagnosis.
Once the ACL surgery is completed, your dog will need restricted movement to allow the knee to heal properly. Our team will closely monitor your dog’s recovery to make sure the wound heals well and to prevent infection.
Benefits of Professional ACL Surgery in Dogs Services
Working with professionals such as Bayshore Veterinary Hospital for ACL procedures is critical as it needs the right diagnosis and treatment for the dog to recover. With experienced vets such as Bayshore Veterinary Hospital, you can be certain that we will get the dog back to its full functionality in a little time.
Another reason to work with professional vets is the fact that we can help you reduce the risk of this ligament tearing again as there are ways that you can mitigate the risk. For example, obese dogs are likely to suffer such ligament tears due to the weight that these joints have to carry. Proper diet and physical exercise for your dog can help change that. Our vets will work with you to make sure that you give your dog a proper diet.
Bayshore Veterinary Hospital has a rehabilitation center that can help your dog gain functionality. This is critical as the dog will recover under the supervision of our experts, making sure that any post-surgery complications are caught and treated.
