Welcome to Falcon Family Vet, where our veterinary team helps dogs in Peyton, Falcon, and the surrounding areas recover from knee injuries with ACL repair surgery.
In dogs, the ACL is called the cranial cruciate ligament, or CCL. It stabilizes the knee joint, and when it tears, the knee becomes unstable and painful. Cruciate ligament injuries are one of the most common causes of hind-leg lameness in dogs.
A torn ligament can happen suddenly during play or develop gradually as the ligament weakens over time. Without treatment, the unstable knee can lead to ongoing pain, damage to the cartilage, and arthritis. Surgery is often recommended to stabilize the joint and help your dog return to an active life.
We guide you through every step, from diagnosis to recovery.
Our veterinarians examine your dog’s knee for instability and pain.
Digital X-rays help us evaluate the joint and plan the best treatment.
We discuss the surgical options appropriate for your dog’s size, age, and activity level, and perform the procedure with careful anesthesia monitoring and pain management.
Recovery takes several weeks of restricted activity. We provide a detailed home-care and exercise plan and schedule follow-up visits to check your dog’s progress.
Stabilizing the knee helps relieve pain and protect your dog’s long-term joint health.
Repairing the unstable joint reduces the discomfort caused by the torn ligament.
Most dogs return to walking, running, and playing after a successful recovery.
Stabilizing the knee helps reduce further damage to the joint over time.
