The Cruciate is a ligament that stabilizes the knee of the hind leg. In pets it is known as the Cranial Cruciate ligament or CCL. While in humans, it is known as the ACL or Anterior Cruciate ligament. The tearing of this ligament is very painful and fairly common among human athletes.

Arthritis What is Arthritis?
Arthritis in dogs is very similar to arthritis in people. It is a degenerative disease that causes stiffness in the joints and muscles. The pain that comes from arthritis is due to the loss of cartilage in the joint, which serves as the joint is shock absorber. In response to the loss of cartilage the body makes new bone which does not absorb shock at all, and results in pain and discomfort. Arthritis can occur in any joint causing loss of function to some degree. Click Here to View Complete Details
