Dr. Michael Bauer of Colorado Canine Orthopedics discusses canine Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears.
Dogs with ACL tears may exhibit mild to severe lameness with both acute and gradual onset. A dog may not be able to bear any weight on the affected leg or there may be a more subtle lameness, all depending on the current degree of their ACL tear.
Some dogs will have an acute onset of severe symptoms and suddenly will not be able to put weight on the leg, other dogs may experience a slow, worsening lameness.
Almost all dogs, with any degree of ACL tear, sit to the side or with the affected leg out to the side, even when asked to do a good sit for a treat.
