This year more than 1 million dogs will suffer from cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) deficiency and their humans will pay more than $1.3 billion to help out their best pal. The typical surgery for the dogs involved cutting the tibia bone in hopes of stabilizing the area. Now, a new technique called "Tightrope CCL" is available for canines.
The brilliant Veterinarians who trailblazed this technique in dogs say that not all poochers are ideal candidates. For our furry friends that do undergo this surgery, the post-operative rehab is crucial to long-term success.
This is excellent. Doctors taking what we already know works and transferring it to our loving furry friends. Thank you. For the whole story, click here

- I began writing in college. Along the way I've had a few poems published. Many of my articles are published online. Some have been republished in print or on other people's websites and blogs. I write every day on either my websites or blogs and, of course, in my journal. Mostly, I write because it's fun. I began blogging for the learning experience. I soon discovered it's a great way to build up a site for people to visit and maybe learn something. Life is all about learning and it's quite an adventure.
