Last week Nila jumped out of the back of our truck and was lost for 4 days. We finally got her back Saturday. When she was returned she was limping pretty bad on her left rear leg. I brought her to the vet Monday morning for a complete checkup and to exam her leg. The vet checked her out and determined that she has torn her ACL in her leg. She thinks surgery can be avoided if we can make sure she does not injure it any further. We were told to keep her kenneled for 4-6 weeks and only let her out to eat/bathroom breaks and we can only walk her for 10 minutes a day. It is killing me keeping her caged up because she is so miserable. If she does injure her leg any further then we will have to have the surgery which will cost us around $800.00 or up. What are some suggestions that I can do to help in the healing process. Has anyone dealt with this before? How did your dog do after the recovery process? Any information on this would be great. Thanks
