Do not get a pre-made knee brace from amazon or shops like that. Those will not support an ACL injury to heal properly. They are cheap, but they will not do a good job.
What’s so special about a CUSTOM dog ACL brace? Custom dog braces are built exactly based on the shape of your dog’s leg. You create a mold like we show you in the first video in the ACL Road to Recovery Playlist ( huskysquad.vide... )and the brace is custom made accordingly. The brace helps stabilize the ACL injury and allows your dog to start exercising and avoid severe muscle atrophy. The brace also prevents this delicate region from getting re-injured. Our Tidus felt immediate support from the braces, and for the first time he actually started using his back legs properly, alternating while walking.
Do TPLO surgeries cause bone cancer in dogs? According to American Veterinary Medical Association, “Dogs with a history of TPLO were 40 times as likely to develop proximal tibial osteosarcoma as were dogs with no history of TPLO.” Read the study abstract here: go.huskysquad.c...

Just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you. My lab yogi has made a full recovery 🙏 we are hiking, swimming and camping again. Your videos gave me hope and the tools I needed. It was a long HARD road with lots of small set backs but we did it. Thank you thank you thank you.
We are so so happy for both of you! ❤️ Keep up the maintenance and if you’ve not yet, explore our Kibble to Raw course 🙌 nothing like a healthy diet for a healthy and resilient body. Learn more here: www.huskysquad.com/sp/kibble-to-raw/ sending so much love and hugs 🤗
hi! thanks for sharing. Did your dog undergo surgery?
I saw most of that already. Tidus laying down at the end of the video was so cute! He is a sweetheart.
Oakleyfan [Becky] aww thank you! Yes, an incomplete version of it was published by mistake a couple of weeks ago. Thanks so much for your support ❤️ it means EVERYTHING to us! 🐻
I just have to say how wonderful it is to watch you with Tidus, your positive attitude, and gentle loving encouragement are as much key to his healing as his new braces. It was nice to see his first day of recovery using his new braces. Such good results! From that time to now is like night and day. The recovery and transformation is amazing. You have to know this would not have been possible for him without all the time, research and love that you all put into it. Continued healing wishes being sent. Sweet Tidus is a trooper! Love to you all, an amazing pack!
Rhonda, I do have to wonder if you're around us in our lives, next to us 24/7 because I really feel by now based on all the beautiful messages you've written us, that you know us all SO WELL. We really believe that huge part of recovery, therapy, healing is the the energy and the environment you create. Although it's not always ben easy, we do our best to only exude positive energy, hope, joy and encouragement for Tidus. We do feel it's made a tremendous impact. Thank YOU SO MUCH for always being here. Sending love form all of us and best wishes for a relaxing weekend ❤
Thank you for these videos! We just decided today at the Vet not to do the TPOL surgery. Instead the nurse suggested this brace. We ordered the kit today for our 6 year old Australian Shepherd, Kali. I am thankful for this alternative. Your 3 dogs are amazing! Tidus is precious! Again Thank you!
Can you please share the shop where you buy the brace? My dog suffered it a few days ago and I do not know which brand and shop to buy it.
Yes please let me know
How did it turn out for you??? The same thing happened to mine while running. I don't know what to do. The operation is very expensive, 5,000 and my dog is 8 years old pibull mix 91 lb. and I want her to be as comfortable as possible and I don't want the same thing to happen to her right leg. , I'm worried and sleepless. What can you recommend to me based on your experience? I have also seen some negative comments about the product.
I don't know if it would really be good. The ortho dog, I want it for both legs and it costs 535.00 to avoid the same thing with the right. The other product I was looking at was goherogo but just for one leg it is almost 2,000 dollars.
Can you recommend something to me, I'm not comfortable seeing her like this :(
Our Kira loves her brace and renewed mobility....thank you....
Tidus is one lucky dog! ❤️ I'm amazed at how much progress he has made so far! Yo guys are amazing. Thank you for giving him all the care he needs 💛
Rancho The Dog 🐕❤️ thank you so much! We really want to give him the best chance for a great recovery. Thank you for your support 🤗
Our dog Loki had the surgery, recovered after a month or so. That was October, by Christmas, he was listless and not very responsive. The vet said it was cancer, we had to put him down. He was only 6. That's why we opted for the surgery, we figured he had about 6 more years left. Poor Loki, miss you bud.
Cheer up Tidus! You have the most caring and loving pawrents and I know you already knew it❤️ Hope you fully recover soon🐺🐺🐺
SALLYYYS thank you so much friend ❤️🐻 yes he’s doing amazing 🤗
Thanks again! I used your Discount code and ordered to custom braces from Animal Orthocare. You saved me $70!!!
Yay! Much appreciated. 💜🌟
Awww sweet boy. He’s so lucky to have you guys. Gorgeous boy. Glad he is doing better.
We did the brace for our Girl after she ruptured her ACL and had the brace made by a Certified Orthotist and both our vets don't believe it does much good, but we sure do. She's doing very well, limping stopped soon after and it's been well over a year now and she's great.
My girls got an ACL injury🐶
She has braces that aren't as fancy as the ones you have for Tidus, they look more like chaps on her, and are geared to support both legs too.
My girl is like my child, it's so hard seeing her in pain, and she's getting older, so the stress of anesthetic in surgery may not be the best option.
We have her on anti-inflammatory drugs from the vets as well as natural supplements. Now it's the waiting game and trying to keep her from having "silly moments" where she'll try to run or spin.. 😖 She does do some light walking but it's certainly monitored.
Thank you for sharing your experience with others like myself.. I wish you all the best health with your fur babies. It warms my heart to see someone care so much about their dogs and give them every chance. 💖
Love the way you interact with the Squad. Hope you feel much better sweet Tidus.❤️😊
B M thank you so much friend ❤️ it’s natural to us, we care about the tremendously 🐺 Thank you so much for the healing wishes to Tidus 🐻
Awww Tidus videos are the best to encourage us to be strong with the problems we have to overcome. Tidus remains me so much of my lovely Runa, they are both so good when we manipulate them, that's one of the things that I love of my sweetheart. I'm really happy to see his recovery, he's so amazing. You both are so sweet with them and I'm sure that's why they have their zen souls.
Thanks again for sharing your love to the squad with us the way you do, with the best informative videos, the best images, the best sounds of nature and the best calm music and also the best lovely and soft voices you have, we always recieve lots of great vibes from you. Recieve all our love, kisses to those fluffy faces and big hugs for you both. ♥
Ah, thank you Laura so much for your beautiful positive message. Yes, we find that all three of our pups really thrive when our energy is happy and confident, it works every time! Thank you so much for your continues love and support, we so appreciate you. Tidus started at ground zero, and as you know by now, he's doing amazing. We really do feel that holistic care coupled with a lot of love works works wonders! Please send lots of love to Runa from all of us ❤
My 9 year old Bubba, Husky/Lab just blew out his ACL. Even with a friends and family discount the surgery would be 6k.
Found this video and really am considering this option.
Why the other leg ends up tearing is CCL tears are caused by a degenerative process of the CCL ligament. Thus, the disease is often bilateral. It has nothing to do if surgery is chosen.
This happened to my rottweiler before she was even two years old. I tried to let it heal for 2 months, but she was still favoring it somewhat. Being such a young dog, I opted for the TPLO surgery for $10,000.00 (that's not a typo). It's a very hard 12 week recovery, with only short walks in the yard, and no stairs or running, taking her out with a sling down a ramp I built. We mostly kept her isolated to one room which was really hard. Well, it did payoff in the end, as she can now run normally on the leg. You cannot tell anything was ever wrong. Unfortunately, all the vets have told me she will almost definitely need surgery on the other leg as well at some point. Thankfully, I can afford it, and it does work amazingly. Good luck to all who have this happen to their beloved dog!
Tidus looks so badass! He looks like a bionic dog or something =P So great to see how far he's come with his recovery!
Oh EM GEE - you used the EXACT words we use to nickname him with his braces on! Thank you so much for your support. Long ways since you saw him in Utah right after the injury!
Hope you feel better soon, Tidus! My dog, Kevin is going through the same thing right now and we’re waiting on his new brace from Animal Orthocare! Can’t wait to see how you heal up and get to run and play with the pack again. ❤️❤️
michell2003 oh that’s so great Kevin is getting his brace ❤️😀 wishing him a speedy recovery 🙌
Here’s a big update and a detailed blog: huskysquad.blog/acl-recovery-no-surgery
Thank you ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Watching this video is giving me hope. I just ordered my dog Orions brace just now (in honey bear)! We are scheduled for physical therapy and ive been doing stuff at home with home so i hope it works!!
I’ve been watching Titus’ recovery. I’m so happy this worked for him. My 187lb male Rottweiler is scheduled for surgery on his back left leg next week for a torn CCL. I have researched and watched many videos trying to decide what’s best for him. I am worried about everything, especially the other leg. I almost ordered the braces and still might. The main thing that pushed me to choose surgery is that it’s reported that this injury does not “heal” without surgery. Further research said the injury builds up scar tissue and that scarring allows the dog to appear healed, using it as normal. Opinions are strong on both sides…surgery vs braces and therapy. I hope I’ve chosen right for my dog and I wish the best continued success with yours. ♥️
Any updates on his situation?
Right? It’s soooo hard to be the judge! Especially when stabilization surgeries rely on fibrosis formation.
Wat to go tidus keep up the good work !!! I'm a Physical therapist I know it's hard work !!!! Get better soon !!! 🐺
Kurt McKelvey oh i love learning that about you ❤️ we believe that physical therapist are the future 🙌 it’s a powerful way to heal. Thank you for the love and support as always! BTW, can’t remember of you got to enjoy the video we uploaded last Friday huskysquad.video/wild-camping-with-dogs
I bought a Posh brace and very happy with her recovery. Very similar to the brace you have. Don’t be surprised if your vet wants only surgery. I had a vet who wouldn’t treat her without the surgery. We’ve dine Adequan shots, acupuncture and pain meds. In 9 months completely healed.
How did it turn out for you? I'm about to buy it the Ortho Dog. The same thing happened to mine while running. I don't know what to do. The operation is very expensive, 5,000 and my dog is 8 years old and I want her to be as comfortable as possible and I don't want the same thing to happen to her right leg. , I'm worried and sleepless.

Can you recommend something to me, I'm not comfortable seeing her like this :(
@HeightsDogsTraining hi, mine is 8y/o, same- she was doing her regular morning run when it happened.
We tried meds for 2 weeks, it was somewhat helpful but without meds she's limping more. I gave vet appt next week. I'm frustrated but doing my research. The problem with brace for us would be that she won't let put it on...
@@shaktikantadas5663 Mine was 8 days ago. I took her out to relieve herself in the back of the building. She saw a cat and when she ran she slipped. But the vet gave him the Adequan Canine injection 1 time a week, I have to go for a month and they charge me $81 dollars for each injection, also pills like Carprofen.
@@shaktikantadas5663 Put a cone on the dog to prevent him from biting it or removing it on his walks until he gets used to it. Give him a good experience by giving him some snacks that he likes when walking. I am a trainer and my dog was my demonstration dog that I will miss following. Training for now I hope you dog recover but also let me know if you have anything we are already going through this similar process, thank you.
@HeightsDogsTraining thank you for advising and support!!!
How's your dog doing now?
Its amazing how those dogs let you do things to them
Yvonne Sullivan Thank you Yvonne ❤️🙏 but I don’t know what you mean by “things.” Could you please explain what you mean by “dogs let you do things to them”?
@@huskysquad i guess she just means how relaxed tidus is when you put the brace on. I think its because hes worn the brace before because he had the old one. It would be more accurate for Yvonne to say that if it was the first time tidus ever wore a brace because he remained so calm through the process.
TPLO is very invasive. There is another option called tightrope repair. Drill 2 holes and basically put in another ligament. Works great! Arthrex is the company that makes them.
There are several procedures out there, tightrope is not indicated for all cases.
We done the Tight Rope Surgery and are very pleased with it. My Vet only do TTA or TPLO if there is no other option and the results are great. My dog walked two days after surgery more sound than the weeks before. The brace is a nice alternative for a dog that can´t be operable :)
maybe you can help my so I got the tplo on my dog and the recovery is going okay but the problem is I live in a town house with stairs. and he under no circumstances will go inside or even the patio. he is 90lbs and I can't carry him up is it a good Idea to let mom climb the stairs
@@JohnLee-kr3fb Tplo needs more time to heal I think. I helped my dog same weight as yours. Upwards I help him lifting his weight on the hindlegs by reaching under his belly with one arm and holding him an the collar so he go step by step. If you step the stairs parallel it´s a little easier and with the healthy hintleg to the stairs they use it first. Down I go in front of him and backwards the first days until he learnt what he should do, one hand in the collar for regulation, here we go frontlegs down, waiting for the hindlegs (they normally use them both the same time and only step on the good leg), then you take the next step. The hardest part was the slow training when we startet by three walks for 5 min and slowly increase 5 min pro walk a week, many time for creativity :D I hope it helps you a little bit and I wish you and your dog that she heal fast and you can enjoy your walks again :)
After watching your video, we've decided to not do the TPLO surgery on our Doberman. My husband is a prosthetist by trade and can make some lightweight braces. We'll try that route first. Thank you for sharing. Your dogs are beautiful.
I wish so badly I could have some for my 8 year old boxer she has an acl injury and has been riding the Rymidahl train since it happened the vet has said she doesn’t feel she will make it through the surgery due to a heart condition she has and she doesn’t handle being under well at all:( I feel absolutely terrible that she is still struggling with hers almost a year later.
Hey how is it going !!!
Such beautiful dogs💗. And nice braces thanks for this information🙏
My pleasure 💗 so glad it can help!
Omg thank you so much!! I was told there was no alternative!!
Bless our Tidus what a good boy🐺
Yvonne Sullivan thank you, he’s a sweetheart ❤️
Yvonne Sullivan Thank you Yvonne! He is a very good boy ❤️😆
So happy i seen this video❤
Happy for your dog having such a good owner❤
I made my mind of not doing the surgery for my boy just now! I can see Tidus had it much worse than my boy. Can you please send me a link tor that knee support❤
You just gave me hope n I'm not trying to sound stupid. My dog chubbs just tore his acl and its killing me. My dog is my kid 😥. Hes 11 and I dont think I want to do surgery and put him through that and to be honest I'm just scared. The money I dont care 2500 to 5000 whatever I'll do it but I think hes to old. Me n my wife are going to a place close to us to get a brace made for him and I hope it makes him comfortable at least👍
Husky squad+ Husky Friday, and it's beginning of the summer days!
Barry Gee yess! 😀🙌❤️ have the best summer friend

So great to see this . We also decided not to do surgery for our dogs ACL tear, he also uses a custom-fitted brace on that leg and right now the other leg has arthritis so he might need both legs braced in the future.
My 13 y/o Lab completely tore her CCL in late January. She had TPLO surgery in March. They also removed her severely damaged meniscus. I immediately noticed an unusual jutting-out (abduction) of the pelvic limb. The surgeon recommended an additional Extracapsular Lateral Suture Stabilization (ELSS) surgery in April. Her condition continued to decline. I pleaded for a referral to the veterinary university for assessment. She went in May and they found infection around the TPLO plate and screws, infection from the ELSS site, and pivot shift phemonenon. All hardware was removed so we're worse off than before the TPLO surgery. We're currently awaiting a custom orthotic brace in the hope that it will give her support and relief. I wish I'd gone straight for the brace vs. surgery as it's been four months of pain and more than $10,000 with zero results.
😢
One of our dogs had a problem with patella luxation. We have an outstanding Vet and he recommended a brace before attempting anything else...
Andy Askew that’s a great vet! Every vet we've seen (besides our holistic vet) tried to push us into surgery for the ACL injury. Hope your dog is recovering well ❤️ sending love
Thank you for this video.. it gives me hope for my dog and gives a little peace of my mind with my dog ellie. Thank you
Wow, that improvement is amazing to see!
My 8 year old akita has just been effected by the same injury. This video is a big help for us to decide the best thing for him too. Thank you 🙏🏻
My 8 year Akita just tore her acl and I have a consult for the surgery on march 3rd.. how is your Akita doing ?
My Akita also 8 yrs just had acl Friday dr said surgery but we r going to try the brace from posh knee brace!
@@medydath2881 no. My Akita did surgery 3 weeks ago and already walking!!! Do not do that to your baby. It will not get better and she will have bad atheitis over time.
RUN FOREST! RUN!
Spirit Path we love this ♥️🙌 this moved me to tears 😭 for some reason. Thank you so much! 🐻
I have a Great Dane having problems, thought maybe his back, but watching videos about cruciate ligament injuries and I very much feel like this is his peoblem. I have been doing magna wave treatments and there has been improvement, so I pray with natural treatment and maybe braces i can get him healed without surgery.
Im actually thinking about buying 2 for my female Labrador with bilateral knee injury. She’s 10 years old and breaks my heart to see her struggle with the pain. I was a little afraid of a scam, since all the videos I saw were from the company itself. Talking with my vet about this :)
I really wish we went this route with our GSD. He had his TPLO surgery (via one of the best orthopedic surgeons in the state) and his body rejected the plate. This caused a bone infection that required treatment with chloramphenicol. The chloramphenicol then caused bone marrow and vitamin b deficiency which created neurological problems (encephalitis). A year later we have a dog with massive balance issues, weakness, severely altered personality, a malformed TPLO leg, severe intestinal problems and no solution to the infection. We are now stuck with trying injectable antibiotics which can cause kidney failure or leg amputation.
Every single night we wish we went with a simple knee brace instead of the "safe" TPLO surgery.
Please do not beat your self up. I am so sorry this happened to you and your fur baby ❤ I so know how you feel, even though Dollie is gone now I still feel guilty I put her through all of that. The surgeons tell you are these things are rare and push for surgery. My Dollie had a front shoulder surgery done at 6yrs of age. She never recovery from it completely, difficultly walking, pain and eventually got arthritis. Now I am face with an under 2yr old Border Collie with a ACL tear, mild. But there again surgery is recommended. I am now looking for a brace. I cannot do that to another BC, all the pain, recovery and probably the other leg will go.
Is there an updated video for Tidus? How’s Tidus doing? Is Tidus still using the the brace?
He got run over by a car full of illegal immigrants
@@nikkingmanthat's what happens when you vote for TRUMP
@@RosinDaddy5280whos the president dipshit?
After research? The company she mentioned is 1 of few reputable, but I went with 'My Pet's Brace' in the end.... follow directions if you do not do surgery. My 10yo husky was not a surgical candidate due to other issues.. brace is FINE if a geriatric dog
Amo a estos 3 angelitos aunque no los conosco. Dios les de muchos años de vida alos hermosos angelitos.
Muchas gracia amiga. Aqui esta el nuevo video: huskysquad.video/roadtrip-utah-oregon

❤️ love you Titus hope you’re well!
your husband/ boyfriend really quite I wanna see him talk more and I hope Tidus get better so start travel around more and you guys just an amazing owner you guys just amazing have no word im speechless and your vlog away amazing even tho is a short video I still enjoy it I love it Good luck Tidus hope you get better all love
haha YESS!! I want to see him in the video more too, but he's REALLY good at filming (way better than me) so it's not always easy for Jc to be in the video. Thank you so much for your love and support. Tidus is doing WONDERFUL! We're confident he'll recover 100% :) Have the best weekend friend!
@@huskysquad whats his actual first name btw?
@@huskysquad Yeah, JC seems to be the silence of the husky squad - and yet he has a lot to talk about. His language is the camera work and the music of these incredible videos!! And in the video WHAT EVERY DOG DESERVES! his peaceful face shows how beautiful it can be to live one's dreams, e.g. his "conversation" with Yuna @18.58. Funny!
Tidus was earlier the protector and watchdog of the squad, now mom and dad take care of him with all their love!!
You had me at "Hello!" Im falling im love with your pups. They're all so ADORABLE! For me, I wear (human of course) AFO braces. And Knowing how therapeutic pets are, I decided to splurge on how many pets have to wear leg braces too. Lol 💓👀👍
Thank you! And thanks for sharing about your AFO brace. We're happy to help dogs and dog parents going through CCL injuries that may not necessarily require surgery. We've been receiving great recovery stories and we're so glad our videos are making a difference. ❤️
@@huskysquad Actually my foot drop is bi-lateral and I wear an AFO brace on both legs.
@@huskysquad I see this video is over a year old.
I am desperate for help for my golden retriever and cannot seem to locate the name of the company who made this brace!
Here you go! All the details and braces information are in this blog: www.huskysquad.com/blog/healing/dog-acl-recovery-without-surgery/ best wishes for a successful recovery ❤️
Hey you guys, so far, this is very encouraging. It’s the first video of yours that I’ve watched so far, and I look forward to watching the rest. My beautiful sweet boy chArles has recently lost the proper use of his legs. At first, the vet thought it was his hips, then a second opinion and a radiologist recommendation sites his knees as the problem. He can basically not walk now, and I hear a dull clicking in his legs when he moves. I don’t know what to do. He’s young still, and he’s so sweet, just like Titus. He just doesn’t know what happened. The vets recommend surgery, but I don’t have insurance. And I’m worried That it still
Won’t make make him better. I didn’t get the assurance I was hoping for that if we did the TPLO, it would fix him. Anyway. I’ll keep watching. I’m in Fairfield county CT USA. Please let me know if you think or know of anyone around here to help. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this video this is wonderful to see your baby so happy. I love those braces can you please tell me the website where I can . Thank you and happy healing of your baby 😘❤️🐾
Wow, what a terrific setting, your huskies surely love the mountain lifestyle :) Our 9 month old Malinois/Saluki mix hurt her knee about one week and a few hours ago - she hasn't put pressure on the leg since - it was like you described, she was romping with a playmate and just cried out - we're worried it's an ACL (CCL) tear and just so upset this may have happened to her at such a young age. My Siberian, Hiro, passed about 15 months ago - he would have loved your mountains!
Thank you so much! You just gave me an option for my dog! It has the same thing as yours. The vet wants $9K for the surgery without any payment plans. Sadly, I can't do it yet.
I'm sorry to read. this and my best wishes for a great recovery!
Увидел как ортез фиксируется от сползания, вместо подшипника резинка! Хочу сделать подобное из пластиковой канализационной трубы. Тоже надо на обе лапы.
Как место сгиба колена поточней совместить с шарниром ортеза? Чем точнее соосность, тем лучше.
Thank you guys....
Congratulations to Tidus for his amazing recovery! I have been thinking about a non surgical option for our dog. Our dog Laverne who thinks she is still a puppy injured her ACL 3 days ago. She is 12 years old and weighs 75 lbs. Her tear is complete and Vet says hat she needs surgery with a specialist or a brace with he said wont give as good results. Thankfully we do have pet health insurance for our pets so cost is not as much of a problem. But I am terrified to put her through surgery at her age...She is healthy overall but I am still very afraid. We will have a surgical consult in May but I am still hopeful to find another way to help her live her life as best as she can and deserves. I am hoping to make the right choice
For an older dog I would recommend physiotherapy or chiropractic. TPLO is such an invasive procedure where your furry friend could be induced for an hour or upwards. Working in the veterinarian field I feel like a more holistic way of treatment would be better for older dogs to allow for some muscle growth to strengthen the leg If there is muscle atrophy happening (which there usually are). Personally I wouldn’t go through with the tplo if it’s a dog that is 12 years old, imagine a 84 y/o getting a ACL reconstruction … it would be a very hard and long recovery. Hope your furry friend is happy and healthy 🙂
I just found this video. Wish I saw this prior to doing the surgery vet tried talking us into doing both legs and we did not. Will be looking into ordering a brace for her other leg
I decided to visit your channel to see an update on Tidus and now I am heartbroken and crying...Rip Tidus,,,
What happned
Awwww Tidus 😊, Im a Siberian Husky mom too… My guy Bruin is 10.5 and just got a ccl injury on R rear leg , at what age was your baby at his injury? And what kind of Doc made the braces for him? Please lmk thanks
Oh I’m so sorry!! We have all the helpful details in this blog: www.huskysquad.com/blog/healing/dog-acl-recovery-without-surgery/
Awwwww Titus!💙💙💙 my 7 month puppy is showing signs of acl injury. 😭😭 will have to check out Titus' progress!
I got braces for my dog through orthopets and an approved vet and after two vet office adjustments the thing still slips off his leg as he walks…I wonder if these will work better
Ours never slipped. Not all braces are built equally.
Smart to get braces for both legs 👍
Thank you! ❤️ it really helped and I wish I thought of it the first time
Thanks for making this video. My K9 partner recently tore her CCL and I’m researching options. Your video was so informative and helpful!
Huskies say subscribe another husky said yeah subscribe and then the other one says lets roll
William Kornherr hahah 😆 you got it right! ❤️ did you see the girls in last weeks video? They went camp wild huskysquad.video/wild-camping-with-dogs
Your story is inspiring - I have an active dog that has torn his ACL I am wondering what level you felt that Tidus regained strength and maneuverability. You say in some of your videos that he was hiking with you again. I have to ask if he was a runner or very hard on his body or joints to begin with? Our dog is incredibly active and intense, having Huskies Im sure you can understand that, although your kiddos seem very chill! We are really leaning toward bracing since he is 9 years old and we are conservative when it comes to surgery. I studied natural medicine and herbalism and feel this would be my choice personally, I know our vet has said there are not many success cases in larger active dogs and you are one of the only ones that I can find. Thanks so much for sharing your journey I hope to chat with you and follow up on some of my questions, thanks for your time.
Our German shepherd was running, his foot went into a small hole, clearly tore something on back right leg. He got better. Then it happened again a few months later. So he’s down now, with same type injury. Now the vet showed a new xray and said there’s fuzziness around the bone, and there’s 2 lines showing the bone outline instead of one; says it’s cancer and we should amputate his leg?! 😢 My intuition says no, this is the injury from running and stepping into a small hole we couldn’t see in the grass.I asked about a leg brace; no, those don’t really do anything. 🤷♀️
Did Titus have a full break of his ACL (cranial cruciate ligament)? My 6 year old male golden retriever has a complete break if his ACL. He weighs 87 pounds. He injured himself a little over 2 weeks ago when he was running across the yard - I assume the ligament was frayed before that as he wasn’t running full out. The vet said the ligament was completely snapped so there isn’t anything left to support the knee. Surgery seems to be the only option so we have been referred to an orthopedic surgeon. Please let me know as these results are very encouraging.
Can you please send me link where you got these braces from or more information I am struggling with my decision surgery or brace for my husky thanks

I’m struggling with this at present. I’m on a fixed income and surgery is so expensive. My heart is broken 😞
I have the same issue and signed up for carecredit with 12 month zero interest for TPLO surgery. I know it doesnt sound like an option because it still needs to be paid, but we all live on credit for everything else. Alternatives are not going to work for younger dogs.
And what does a person do when they do not have access to a holistic veterinary clinic or a team of physical therapist?
Hey there! We found a knee brace that worked well for our dog at Balto USA - baltousa.com
Beautiful videos!
Hello you guys, my name is Pierre, I live in bc Canada, first of all Thank you so much for your video, very helpful and encouraging; I have questions,
- I am not sure of the brand of the last brace one you received (showed on te video, lighter and flexible)
I went on orho care website and I did not see this model;
- and am wondering, because it has no harness, if this light brace stay easely up?
My companion , Beau a lovely adorable sweet (he is therapeutic dog) maremma turning 4 within 2 months; he is already thankful for your help; and I wish Beau will be as lucky as your lovely Tidus;
Thank you so much for your reply
My dog just had TLPO surgery for his right rear leg in August of 2019. He has now developed a limp and is favouring his left leg. Research has shown that almost 50% of dogs that have the TLPO surgery end up having problems with the other leg. This information was NOT given to me at the time the first referral/surgery was done. I will be booking an appointment with my vet to confirm that it's his ACL and will consider this approach as well as the use of a brace. The first surgery cost just under $5,000 (I'm in Canada)....and to be honest another $5,000 in less than a year is more than we can afford.
Isn't it 50% of dogs that have ACL rupture end up having problems with the other leg?
I’m from Canada aswell how is your dog doing
@@emilyj1074 All good. He had the first surgery and then required surgery on his other leg. Cost a lot but in my mind was worth it. I hope this helps. Take care.
I would’ve loved to get this. My dog got the surgery. She recovered well. Now she’s starting to limp again. But 700 is just way too much for a brace :(
You dont need to get it customized. It just depends on breed. I paid $325. $345 + MA sales tax
@@tutliu Can you please tell me where you ordered from? I have a bull mastiff mix....
Our vet was going to charge $5000 for the first ACL surgery and they were already warning us that our dog would probably need the other leg operated on. So potentially $10,000 in surgery fees verses the $400 MuttKnee Brace and $75 in natural supplements like arnica, tumeric, MSM etc (all of these treatments including the brace we continue for life). Even if we spent $200 a year in supplements we are saving massive amounts of money not to mention saving our pet at least 1 serious surgery and a long, painful recovery. Our little Maltipoo is totally back to normal after injuring her ACL and 2 months of a brace and supplements.
@@larabrink2106 wow my vet just told me yesterday it was an ACL tear that needs surgery. And he also told me the other leg may need it too because he'll be putting so much weight on the other leg while recovering. That's at least $12,400. I literally just bought a new house. I've been crying all night and feeling hopeless. I'm going to go the custom brace direction and add more supplements to his food. Thank you
This cheap my brace cost me over 1200 and they both appear to do the samething. This video is about three years old so, that same brace is not 600 dollars in 2023.
I love tidus and other ones
I’ve been seeing so many posts about leg braces and I’m just trying to figure out the best option for our Maltese! She had luxating patella right back was 4 years ago and left was 3 years ago, is she has both torn ACL😢 I’M SO HEART BROKEN and only WANTING THE BEST FOR HER!!!!
I wasn't aware of this, plus a vet pressured me to get the surgery, claming she will prevent farther issues with inflammation. She put in a rope and now my dog developed a degenerative disease in the knee that she did not have before. After her injury and before the surgery, she healed in general and was stable. I was not interested in the surgery, but she had me to come back to get anti-inflammatory until she scared me into the surgery. It is my fault that I failed to see what she was doing. When I started returning with more issues she claimed that of cause she would develop an issue after the surgery too. She made me feel really stupid. And now I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack after finding out that the surgery caused a degenerative disease of a joint. They can't fix that. I got rid of that vet too late.
Sounds like your dog had a lateral imbrication, in which a specific type of suture is used to replicate the CCL (cranial cruciate ligament). This is NOT the optimal procedure a torn ligament. Imbrications tend to not hold well as they have to brought around the fabella of the canine stifle. The suture can stretch as well. TPLO surgery is THE gold standard for CCL repair in canines. Study's have shown that a torn CCL left untreated opens a canine up for arthritic changes that can be irreversible. Leg braces do NOT cure a dog of a torn CCL.
He’s a lucky boy.
This reminds me of my brace I have after my acl surgery 😂
My 14 yr old chiahuah is Proably getting a front leg brace soon as she injured her right leg goikg in soon for a vet appointment. Pretty sure she pulled a ligament and muscle but just in case it’s more serious she’s going in. She’s just so small and fragile I have to hold her so carefully as she feels like a cracked porcelain doll right now 🥲 lots of energy though. She acts like a puppy still so not like if she’s injured we won’t work with her to help her but I don’t trust her to survive a surgery at her age she just wouldn’t survive it with her age and size. Brace route is how she’s likely to go front paw for sure for a brace maybe both for support her back left had surgery as a puppy so she might be in three or four braces 😖 we will see I guess super sweet old lady currently curled up asleep in bed with me
First time dog owner and my dog is too he's a Cane Corso he suffered this torn ACL in his back right leg and I'm so so depressed about it and don't know really what to do they're talking about the tplo and another surgery I just don't know what to do I want to save him I don't want him to be limping or being in pain or being a disadvantage what should I do I'm in a serious dilemma my family is very very depressed.
can this treatment also be used for Achilles tendon?
My Vet has told me that using a brace could do damage to my dog
Guess I’m looking for a new Vet then
They want 7grand for my boys acl…but have to wait a week to see if he has bone cancer at just a year of age
Ahh... I hope I could buy one for my puppy too. He's just a 5 mos old puppy and got hit by a car and now he can't move his two back legs anymore.
I'm so sorry to hear this 😔😥 did he recover?
Where did you order the braces from?
Hi there! We have a dedicated blog for this entire subject as well as ordering information about the braces: www.huskysquad.com/blog/dog-acl-recovery-without-surgery/
Thank you for this. My girl is scheduled for surgery next week, BUT I am still on the fence about it. We have custom braces and working with a physiotherapist. Both her knees are injured, so she has the double braces as well.
Did you end up doing surgery or braces and CM?
@@grantwilson6591 We did go ahead with TPLO surgery on her worst knee. Which went great, but we are sticking with the brace for the second knee as it's not as bad. Plus she's a senior dog now, so putting her under for surgery is riskier. She does great with the one good knee and brace on the other. She is able to hike and run and swim and still enjoy all the things she loves.
My English springer spaniel has a partial cruciate ligament tear. Being a springer spaniel they never stop running or jumping. I might try a brace out. Thanks and good luck
I’m dealing with a failed Lateral Extracapsular Suture surgery after the fifth week. I still don’t understand why the vet said she didn’t need one of these.
Thank you so very much. I do not want my shih-Tzu to have surgery either. He is 10 with a heart murmur. I will look at all your videos. Happy New Year.
everybody watch this: "WHY DIDNT I SEE THIS VIDEO BEFORE!?"
My 11 year old husky 1 week post op on second tta..struggling to recover this time..took 8 months to recover from first op aged 9..cost was disgusting
can you show us how is your guy doing after 2 years without surgery pleaseeeee ????
How do you keep them from getting sores? Our shepherd got a similar brace and in 3 days already has a sore on his leg
How...to buy ?😊
It’s all in this blog: www.huskysquad.com/blog/healing/dog-acl-recovery-without-surgery/
Didn't see the brand of brace.
Was the CCL completely torn or only partial torn? Would your choice on treatment be different depending on partial vs full tear? Was there any patella involvement?
What did you end up doing?? My dog has completely torn ACL. I’m going with the surgery even though I know many say it’s just expensive alternative. Vet showed me how his kneecap was moving different that his other leg. And my old man is 10 and going blind. I wanted something to fix him fast. He is scheduled for Nov 10. Costing me $2.8k . With the help of friends and families I’ve raised $800 in donations. The rest I’m paying with care credit. I remember my shihtzu mix (19 pound) has never liked us touching his back legs. We think he has always have discomfort but we took it as he just didn’t like us touching his legs. I adopted him from shelter when he was 5 and was told he was abused from the personality evaluation they gave him. I can’t stand hearing him cry in pain. It broke my heart coming home to him crying in pain and struggling to greet me.
I'd like to use the cast option but it's sooooo expensive
I love this husky💗✌✌✌
There has to be a better way to get a brace by just measuring not casting?
What is the name brand of food you give to your beautiful pets?
Do you know if his tear was complete? Like the tendon completely broke or it was just a tear?
We have a husky Shepard mix and she just completely broke hers 🙁
Thankyou🙏🙏
So sorry about this! Complete VS partial can only be idendified via MRI. You can read the entire blog and everything we did for our Tidus here: www.huskysquad.com/blog/dog-acl-recovery-without-surgery/
