We were playing ball and she twisted her knee the wrong way and just fail to the ground and started yellping. I took her to 2 vets today 1 said that her knee keeps going in and out. The other said some muscles or ligaments might be torn.She keeps limping around bne when I see her I kinda pop her knee back into place and shes fine for a few minutes. Will this go away in healing time or is 1 of her 3 ligaments torn?

Oh the popping noise when I walk them before surgery some of the dogs have a real load popping noise and it drives me crazy...
T hopefully answer your question...it is real strong that it's a torn cruciate some need the surgery other if it's only partial tear the recovery time will depend on if you could keep him quiet for 4-8 weeks, meaning strict cage rest for 2 weeks then slow short walks for 4 weeks. baby aspirin 2 times a day for pain as needed.
