CCL Symptoms
CCL tears are one of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs.
Common signs include:
-
Sudden limping or toe-touching
-
Difficulty rising
-
Sitting with the leg out to the side (“lazy sit”)
-
Worsening lameness after exercise
-
Clicking/popping in the knee
-
Not bearing weight after running or jumping
If your dog shows any of these signs, we can help.
What to Expect at Your Surgical Consultation
1. Orthopedic Examination
Your dog’s surgeon will perform a full exam to confirm ACL rupture and evaluate stifle stability.
2. Review of X-rays and bloodwork
If you already have X-rays and bloodwork, bring them — otherwise, we can perform them during your visit if needed.
3. Personalized Surgical Plan
We explain the recommended procedure and expected recovery.
4. Transparent Pricing
You will receive a complete estimate for surgery, anesthesia, and medications.
Most families book surgery the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes — we accept CareCredit.
Is X-raying required before surgery?
Not always. Your surgeon will guide you.
How soon can we schedule surgery?
We strive to schedule surgery as soon as possible. Corrective surgery immediately following the injury provides the best outcome. We typically schedule within just a few days after your consult. If you are traveling from a distance, please call us. We can commonly accommodate same day consult and surgery.
Do you repair both knees if needed?
Not at the same time – If both knees are injured the surgeries are typically staged 6 weeks apart.
