Your dog is limping; your overwhelmed and not sure what to do
I've got great news for you. There is so much you can do to help your dog move better and get their pain under control !
There are 2 things that you can start today :
1. Control your dog's activity &
2. Start them on collagen
Control your dog's activity
Most people are never told this, not even by their veterinarian
But controlling your dogs activity is one of the most important things you need to do
Not controlling activity can permanently worsen your dog’s injury and set them up for painful arthritis for life — whether or not you choose surgery.
Keep your dog on a leash: no running, no jumping, no stairs, no rough play, even when they seem to feel fine.
All it takes is one squirrel. Your dog can be resting calmly one second, then launching across the yard the next. That's why the leash matters, even in your own backyard.
An injured knee needs rest to heal, and a dog who feels good will happily make the injury worse.

I have another great tip for you to manage your dog’s rest and confinement.
While keeping your dog on a leash spread their meals around the grass then walk them on leash walk to find their treasures.
All their meals !
Bonus- you get to throw food and your dog will love finding it.
It’s a Win-Win!
Start your dog on Collagen
The cruciate ligament is made of collagen. Supplementing Collagen gives your dog's body the raw materials to repair that tissue, and ease their pain.
It's a simple thing you can begin today.
