That's tough. My 8 year old Llew is having rear leg problems. Lame after 30 minutes running and wanting to put almost no weight on that leg. Did 600 bucks worth of xrays and blood work which showed nothing at all. Back to the vet again next week with perhaps the idea of doing and MRI. Big decision at that age whether you want to spend 4 K to get TPLO done or just try to rest for a few months during the off season because its not torn. Vet thinks perhaps a small tear in the CCL, but the only way to diagnose that is with an MRI and that's 1100 bucks.
