partial torn ligament

My dog tore both ACL's. THe first we had surgery because we found out too late. The second, we did strict crate rest and gave her high doses of glucosomine. She was on crate rest a month, she only got to come out to potty. After that we slowly let her out and let her walk around a little. She slowly began to bear weight on it again and now you would never know.

Hi!
I think your friend needs to bring her dog to the vet for assessment and prognosis.
If it is really a partial tear, perhaps it can still be remedied with strict crate confinement for several weeks and a glucosamine-chondroitin supplement.
