ANSWER: Hi - Well there are alternatives to ACL surgery - YOU can try some rest and supplements - Let me know if you want to try this....?
I would be glad to help you.
Most of the VETS will want to cut right away.  Many times, not all, the areas do heal.

With our without surgery Most dogs will develop arthritis.
