How to heal a torn dog acl without surgery
Understand when it is safe to forego surgery.
Both surgical and non-surgical (conservative) methods can be used to treat acl. A combination of both methods is usually helpful for the dog.
However, the type of therapy recommended varies based on body size, body condition, and severity of lameness of your dog. A dog under 20 kilograms may not be a good candidate for surgical procedures.
