Ajay Sebastian Webboard User Reg: 02-27-2012 Posts: 1 Loc: Offline	I have a 11 month old German Rottweiler that tore his ACl while running in the back yard. I took him to the vet and he recommed $4000 sugery. I reseached this and also found out about Conservative Theraphy is also and option. I used cage rest, glucosomine and chondro protective supplements, and as always his raw diet. At 10 months and 102 lbs he is not overweight( right on target 100-110) and dont want to totally deprive a growig puppy. He stoped limping like 4-5 days ad in 2 weeks he looks good as new. Now he runs ,lifts both legs to pee, and so forth. I was wondering if anyone has experice with this and is he still a canidate for protection/shutzhund?

I would say have him vet checked in another 2 weeks, and again in 4 weeks after that - if the vet thinks the knee can handle the jumping then I would say he will be ok. Are you wanting to compete or just for fun?
