Cruciate ligament damage occurs when there is a full rupture
(complete break) or tearing of one of the cruciate ligaments. This
can result in four types of sprain; from a minor tear or stretch to
a complete tear of the ligament. It is a painful condition and a
qualified vet would need to identify the level of damage that has
occurred.
Initial treatment for this condition would be surgery in the
form of TPLO in most cases. Massage may then be used following
surgery to assist with recovery and muscular health.
