    There is no way to tell if the tear is full or partial with exam or even x-rays. Even Lily's surgeon, who is brilliant and the best in my area, thought her right knee was fully torn. But when he...

    If it's been 4 weeks and you're not seeing any improvement, your dog really needs to be seen by a vet. You say she's not showing signs of pain, but limping IS a sign of pain. It does sound like a...

    It could be a soft tissue injury and those sometimes take awhile to heal. Labs are very stoic and often don't show pain, so it's not super surprising that she didn't react when examined. If it's a...
