Any dog owners ever had a dog with an ACL tear?

[QUOTE="phillySVT, post: 8132241, member: 40847"] I noticed my dog doing a slight stutter step while trotting two weeks ago. So slight no one else seemed to think it was a problem. He could still run full speed. I brought him in to the vet and they diagnosed him with a partial acl tear. They told me to rest him for a couple weeks and hope that it heals. If it does become a full tear it will need to be operated on. For one, I'm not positive on this diagnoses as he had no x-rays what so ever. Two, I don't want the dog to be in any pain. They put him on anti-inflamatory meds and he seemed fine (I haven't walked him/no stair climbing since the vet visit). the first day I ran out of meds the dog was limping bad. Way worse than when I first brought him in. I called up and they gave me another prescription and he seems fine again. I'm going to see another vet this week. Has anyone gone through a dog with an ACL repair operation? How succesfull was it? I know it's going to cost me some bucks buts I'm willing to shell it out to get him better. [/QUOTE]
