Need help in finding information on Cruciate Ligament Rupture. I only found one article and was wondering if I missed something.
Thanks, Bonnie

Bonnie I am afraid there is not much to say about this devastating problem other than what is in the article on Stifle Lameness. I will be glad to address any specific question you have, just post them here.

Thank you DrO, My horse is still at the Univerity of WI, so all I know right now is what was said to me over the phone. I do know his tear is a 2/3 out of 4. I guess I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what the outcome was. Bonnie

If this is a partial tear the prognosis might not be as grave as in the article. But this is not only affected by the percent tear but which cruciate and where the tear occured. Your experience is not likely to be the same as someone elses even with a similar problem. The prognosis would be best given by the person who actually saw the tear. What did they say the prognosis was?

Well I called the doctor again, he is faxing me a report. When I talked to him before he would not say what his prognosis was. This time he said he felt I would have a pasture sound lame horse, but of course only time will tell. I feel a lot better for even that little bit of hope. Thanks again, Bonnie
