🐾 Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) Injuries in Dogs – What You Need to Know 🦴

Is your dog suddenly limping or holding up a back leg after a run at the park? One of the most common causes of hindlimb lameness in dogs is a cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture—similar to an ACL injury in humans.

💡 What is the CCL?
The CCL is a key ligament in the knee that helps stabilize the joint. When it ruptures—either partially or completely—your dog may limp, struggle to bear weight, or seem painful when walking or getting up.

🔍 How is it diagnosed?
At Companion Vets, we perform a thorough orthopedic exam, often paired with X-rays and, in some cases, sedation to fully assess the joint. We check for signs like joint instability (drawer motion) and swelling in the stifle (knee) joint.

🛠️ Treatment Options
Unfortunately, the CCL doesn’t heal on its own. The good news is that surgical repair offers excellent long-term results and can restore your pet’s quality of life.

We have highly experienced surgeons at Companion Vets who offer two trusted surgical options:

➡️ Extracapsular Repair – Ideal for smaller dogs. This technique uses a strong suture placed outside the joint to stabilize the knee while the body heals.

➡️ TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) – The gold standard for medium to large or very active dogs. This advanced procedure changes the dynamics of the knee to eliminate the need for the damaged ligament.

🩺 Recovery is closely monitored, and we’ll guide you through every step.

If you suspect your dog may have a CCL injury, don’t wait. Early diagnosis and treatment can make all the difference.

😍Lacey is an amazing and beautiful girl we love to see every month for our dose of cuddles and tail wags!

💊Last year, she was struggling to find joy in her walks, due to her developing arthritis.

💚Lacey's family elected to try Beransa, a monthly injection that helps with arthritic pain and aging aches.

🐾Here is what the family has to say:
"It [Beransa] has been life-changing for her [Lacey]. It really improved her enjoying her walks and being at the park. Before that, she was getting lots of pills that were making her more subdued. Now, she is more alert and happier, and so are we."💗

If you have any question about Beransa or want to talk about arthritic support for your own dog, please feel free to contact our friendly team at 07-222-3337 or [email protected]

He was the sweetest, most patient boy as Talia gave him a bit of a spa day and lots of TLC!

GOOD NEWS-OWNER FOUND.
We have had this male tabby cat handed into us on Church Road. He was found on nearby Balmerino Cres wet and not moving much.
He is blind so may have lost his way home.
He has a leather studded collar on as per the photo.
Unfortunately no microchip.
Please contact our clinic if you think he might be yours.
