The "Underwater" Secret to Fixing Dog Knee Injuries
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, integrative veterinarian Dr. Randy Aronson explains how rehabilitation and the "whole picture" approach can successfully treat CCL tears (cranial cruciate ligament) in dogs and cats. For proactive pet parents facing a potential surgical diagnosis, understanding these non-invasive recovery options—including underwater treadmills and cold laser therapy—is the first step toward restoring your pet’s mobility without the standard 12-week surgical downtime.
Dr. Randy breaks down the science of "nerve memory" and why reducing systemic inflammation through nutrition and targeted supplements like Myos Canine is critical for ligament repair. From Class IV lasers and PEMF therapy to regenerative options like PRP and Shockwave, this guide covers the integrative tools used at PAWS Veterinary Center to help pets heal faster. You'll also learn why common NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs)) might actually hinder the scarring process needed for joint stabilization and which holistic alternatives Dr. Randy recommends instead.
