Hello! My 14 year old Pekingese has been diagnosed with a torn ACL on her back left leg. (She has had (2) subluxing patella surgeries on her back right knee about 5 years ago, so she’s having a tough time favoring the back left leg). Her BEAM could be better, since we got a puppy 2 months ago.
We had a surgical consult at Norwalk VCA and the surgeon thinks that she will heal on her own. She is on 10 mg of Galliprant every other day and for the past couple of weeks, the vet added 50 mg of gabapentin 2x/day. The Gabapentin is working great, but I think she’s trying to do too much and the vet said to try and discontinue it in a few days. ***My question is…would Cold Laser therapy help with this?*** I have a laser for home use and my vet also offers the service (theirs was more effective for my other dog). Any other holistic ideas? Thanks in advance.
