My 9 year old Chi had ACL surgery a few days before Christmas. She was making pretty good progress until last week she jumped up on the couch and back off again before I could stop her. Yes, I know that is a big no-no. We've been good at keeping her off the stairs, but we have a 1 year old (human) baby too and this was one time when we were distracted and now it looks like we are paying the price.
The dog is now limping quite a bit more than she was before the couch incident. We've had her on crate lock down all week, but she still is not back to where she was a week ago.
What are my worst case scenarios? What has she damaged? Will it likely get better with more crate rest, or has the surgery been ruined?
