Question
Hello,
My dog has torn her ligament in her left hind knee. She holds it up and limps. I took her to the vet- but because she has insulinoma that has spread they can not do surgery on her knee. Is it possible to at least have it wrapped or something so she can get a little stability?
Thanks

Consult a veterinary speciality clinic for help in stablizing the leg. A speciality hospital should be equipped with veterinary specialists that can provide you with the advanced care your pet requires.
