Bonnie: Cruciate ligament and stiff joints

Posted in Collie, Joint stiffness, Mobile Bones, Ruptured ligament / tendon

Collie with stiff jointsMy dog, Bonnie (age 12yrs) snapped her cruciate ligament in her back left leg whilst running in our garden in August 2010, which lead to her having to have an operation to repair the leg.

After 2 weeks cage rest she began to recover quite well, then all of a sudden she started to hold her leg up again, this lead to another x-ray only to be told she had got very bad joint stiffness and a bone mouse in the knee joint.

She hasn’t been working much over the winter but she is now and I am pleased to report that the  ‘after work’ stiffness seems finally to have reduced considerably and the frequency of her lumbar spine discomfort has also reduced.
