What can I do to help my Bichon Frise who has a ruptured cruciate ligament?

Answer by  JaenieF (153)

I assume you've already been to the vet. If your dog's pain medications aren't helping, you may need to increase her prescription. Otherwise, keep your dog as still as possible. Movement will only make the injury worse.

Take the dog to the vet they will be able to treat the injury and they will also give you pain meds and instructions.

your vet can give you some pain meds such as deramaxx, rimadyl, or tramadol to help with the pain but surgery would help fix the problem and get rid of a lot of the pain
