My dog has a torn ligament, is anxious. What are affordable options?

Question

Dog has torn ligament in rear leg, she will not rest as she is anxious and her leg is gorowing worse. We cannot afford treatment and are wondering what our options are. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 7 years and 11 months old

Rest, rest, rest. A vet can also prescribe some anti-inflammatories and give you a dose of glucosamine to help. Water exercise like swimming is a great way to keep the joint lubricated while taking stress off the joint. Make sure she doesn't become overweight. Please do not give any medications over the counter until you talk to your vet. Kisses to Stella!
