In Reply to: Cat ruptured her cruciate ligament - romey

I don't know about cats, but my dog (age 11) ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament last summer chasing a cat and has never been the same. He used to climb up the steps to my bed, but now I have to pick him up. He was not allowed out of the yard for the first 2 months! What a bummer! BUT good news is, he is about 75% well and the vet says at his age that is about what he will get back overall. Good luck!

The spleen can enlarge and/or rupture if
not watched. My daughter had it and though there wasn't much done, she did go back to see the doctor a couple of times.
