oh, do any of you have any thoughts, experience, or references to read about whether physical therapy or surgery is a better first choice for a beastie ACL tear?
The red girl (10.5 years old, 55 lbs) has a torn ACL on her left hind leg. Mild limp but her knee moves in ways it's not supposed to. She's still cleared for going on walks, and her mobility isn't very limited. I'm thinking that if her pain can be managed (prevacox), and it seems to be, then I'd like to try PT.
