Info

Tips for stifle x-rays for vets

 

Cause
Cruciate disease causes the weakening and eventual rupture of a ligament in your pet’s knee.

Diagnosis
To diagnose and plan the best treatment, we use x-rays.

Treatment
The treatment is a circular cut and rotation to your pet’s shin bone to remove tension on the cruciate ligament.

After-care 
Your pet will require at least six weeks of careful confinement to prevent running, jumping and playing after surgery while the bone heals, combined with controlled lead-only walks and physiotherapy. Specific care after TPLO surgery can be found on our FAQS page.

Outcome
Most pets achieve complete resolution of lameness and unrestricted exercise within a few months of surgery without pain relief. Arthritis can progress in the long term.
