Hi All,
OK, don't laugh.  I just got a call from a physical therapist whom I've known for several years and his dog, which is a 2 year old 65 pound Boxer, has torn it's rear legs' anterior cruciate ligament.  He asked me if there was anything we could do to stabilize it for a while to see if it would stabilize.  I thought about simply putting a cast on for a few weeks but thought I'd throw this out to my esteemed colleagues and see if anyone has done anything for this before.  Thanks
