Earlier this week my husky lab mix (75lbs) slipped on ice and ended up tearing her CCL on her rear left side. I have an appointment set with a vet (orthopedic specialist) to have surgery done on January 14th, however in the mean time I'd like to know what I can do to help her with getting around. She's currently on medications for pain, inflation, and to just make her comfortable. I'd be curious if a brace could help her or if it would be more of risk of hurting her further. My biggest fear is her tearing her other CCL while waiting since she's mainly using that leg to support herself. If a brace could help what would you recommend? Additionally what other things can I do to help tie her over to surgery?
