Our Modesto veterinarians utilize a specialized extracapsular surgery technique to repair cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries, often resulting in faster recovery times and a quicker return to normal activity for your dog. Many surgeries used to repair these injuries require up to 16 weeks of recovery. The technique used by our Modesto veterinarians can have your pup walking on the surgical leg in as little as two weeks and back to normal function in as little as four weeks.
