  1. Hello again, Thank you to those of you who replied. She is doing much better now. We decided not to operate and are thankfully happy with how she is going. Her daily walks are now smaller and on leads only but she is happy again. Her face is one that easily read. The vet has changed her medication slightly and all seems to have turned out for the best. We just have to nurse her a bit more these days. But that is not something to surprising considering her arthritis and age. Thank you again for your responses & advice. Cheers
  2. Hello fellow dog lovers, Our vet told us yesterday that our old girl requires surgery to fix a torn crutiate ligament. Has anyone had this surgery done on their older dog? Our Border Collie is an 'old' 11. She has arthritis in the same hind leg as the ligament damage so the vet said she'll never be the same even after surgery. I worry about the other ligament tearing and also about her recovery with an over active BC in the same house encouraging her to follow him on his 4000th run around the yard daily. Can anyone shed some light on this type of surgery in older dogs? Cheers
