Kimber swimming two years post ACL tear without surgery! Conservative management Success Dog!

I am so happy to have found these videos of Kimber. My 3yo Bernese Mtn Dog Mix has been diagnosed with a slight tear at her ACL- I really want to avoid surgery. What brand brace did you buy? Did you give her supplements too?

@terrysinc22 So glad you are trying to avoid surgery.... despite what vets tell you, large dogs CAN heal from a torn ACL without surgery. The brace company I used was Orthopets out of Colorado. I was very pleased with them. Yes, Kimber was on joint supplements such as glucosamine, msm, SAM-E, DGP, and more. She received NO dog food...only a natural diet. I wish you all the best with your girl. Best wishes.

Can you tell me what brace Kimber wore during her recovery. My little girl was just diagnosed with ruptured ACL's in both back legs.  The brace Kimber was wearing looks superior. I would love it if you would share the information. Thank you.

@kimineagle The brace was custom made by Orthopets in Colorado.
