It is your only option. That is the only way it can be repaired. With cage rest after surgery it should be good as new. I would recommend using a Veterinarian that has done this type of surgery before or an Orthopedic surgeon.

What do you do about a torn dew claw on your dog?

Dewclaws are the "fifth finger" on the dog's front legs. Since dogs essentially walk on their toes, the dewclaw - the dogs thumb - usually dangles uselessly several inches above the ground. The dewclaw can catch on brush, logs, rocks, or other trail obstructions the dog has to navigate over, under, or around. A torn dewclaw can bleed a lot, but generally it isn't a serious injury. The prescribed treatment is to stop the bleeding through direct pressure. Next, wrap gauze around the dewclaw and leg, then wrap tape around it to hold the dewclaw firmly to the leg. Don't wrap too tightly, however, or you'll constrict blood flow into the lower leg.


Why are dogs the most favored housepet?

Dogs are loyal to you and your family and you know the saying, "Man's best friend." It's true! Dogs are the kind of pet who plays alot when you want to play, and when you get tired, they'll probably be tired, too! Dogs are nice creatures! They will not be mad at you if you are a little stern with them. Cats are different. They are lazy and they seem to run away in trees and/or bushes. That's very annoying, so I prefer a dog. And be careful when you get a puppy! They are fragile and you better keep him/her in a cage before he/she starts discovering the house. You can let him/her out only if you like pee, poop, and torn things laying around the house!

I've just been diagnosed that I have a torn ACL and a torn meniscus. Could someone tell me WHY the orthopedic surgeon is recommending physical therapy before the surgery?

If you don't achieve full range of motion before your surgery, the rehab will be much harder post-surgery and it you might not regain full range of motion again. I've torn my acl twice and my surgeon really stressed that I get the swelling down before the surgery. Both times I did that and I never had a problem getting my full range of motion back after the surgery.
