It was so heartbreaking!💔 Kodi tore his CCL (Doggie ACL) at 9 months old when he stepped in a rabbit hole while playing fetch. We had to wait for TPLO surgery until he was a year old to make sure his growth plates were fully closed. Trying to keep a young, high energy dog calm for MONTHS was the biggest challenge, especially emotionally. It was absolutely heartbreaking seeing him sad like this. Then a month post first surgery that the other CCL in his “good” leg tore as well, due to weight compensation. He had to have surgery again, 10 weeks later. Fast forward 2 years later, he’s doing wonderfully BUT he wasn’t able to be a young and pain-free dog for a long time which is hard to digest!😔 I hope he’ll be happy and healthy for many year to come!
