Hi Paul,
Didn't your vet tell you about dog knee braces?
I got one for my lab with a totally torn ccl and acl.
The vet tried hard to sell the tplo surgery but when I read
about others that went thru it, I decided there must be a
safer way. We went with the holistic route and got a custom
posh dog knee brace and the knee healed in
a few months with no risk of infection.
Just a heads up if the other knee tears or you have another dog
with a torn knee. Vets want to sell the surgery and don't like to
mention safer holistic methods for healing without any risk of infection.

Hey Paul,
Well, I hope Rush is done with his med storm of late.
Antibiotics and abscesses: they don't work. A subject for another post, likely. The drug can't get to the bug with enough concentration to kill it in all the pus, and it's walled off anyway, by definition. Thanks for the inspiration. It's going into Evernote now to tickle my memory for later.
p.s. be sure to read up on ACL's (or CCL's in dogs). Search in the search box on most every page for the word "cruciate). The other one has a 50% chance of rupturing. Vaccines play a role.
Best to you both.
