apollo 9 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 my dog may have done her crucate legiment if so do you think she run again ps she,s a bull x I had a pure pitbull that done his anterear cruciate a couple of years ago and they fixed it with 100 lb fishing line, it took a few months to come right but he did start running with me again and was ok up untill his death a year ago. I dont know weather its the same for a real running dog but if anything can do it its a bull............... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JOEB Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 My mates dog did it when it was a pup.........same old crap from the vet about "it will never run" ect...........9 years on, the dog runs fine........his leg will some times go up back at home after a hard nights work, couple of days rest and it is as right as ninepence again..... Hope your dog has a speedy recovery.... J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simoman 110 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 My dog damaged his cruciate although the vet advised against surgery as it wasn't that bad. I wish I had ignored him The dog can run but I try not to jump him, it took about 16 months before he was back to normal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
