Please keep Simon is your thoughts and prayers today. He will be in surgery most of the morning starting at 8am. They are going to repair the ACL in his left back knee.
I'm going to keep a record of his progress here in Health and Nutrition.
He will have to stay off the leg for a week before they start physical therapy. I do know that his antibiotics for the first week will contain pain medication that will also ensure he stays down.
I wasn't able to find but a few mentions of cats with torn ACL here on TCS. Actually one and they elected not to have the surgery done. Most of what I was able to find concerned dogs with torn ACL on the internet and that it's rare in cats.
