CCL diagnosis 5 year old dog
by: Bunn on Thu, May 22 2008

Hi Ive just learned from Vet my soon to be 5 year old mix Bichon Shitzu Pomeranian has this CCL She started limping around about 6 months ago. I thought it was maybe from carrying too much weight(she’s a little porker 22 lbs) and doing her sudden racing around chasing squirrels in our back yard. I can’t afford surgery and have her on glucosamine liquid and pills as per Vet’s instructions. Is this something that is curable w/o surgery? How long should she have bed rest and not use that left rear foot? Can I still take her for short walks because she needs the exercise. She is a very picky eater and I am looking for a diet that will appeal to her sense of taste. Any thoughts/helpful suggestions. I am worried sick about her.Bunn
