Will any of you out there with experience,good or bad with knee orthotics on a dog.
I have a local nurse who has a lab/ rotweiller mix who has 2 bad knees.
The worst one had a monofilament ACL replacement but when the vet got in he found the meniscus in several pieces. He completely removed the meniscus. the dog now has tremendous crepitus and does not use the leg except for balance when he stops Amputation doesn't seem viable because the other knee is also bad
                   Thanks in advance,
