My dog was just diagnosed has having a torn ACL and needs surgery. However, being a beagle/basset mix, weighing in at 43 pounds, he needs to loose weight first. The vet put him on a strict reduced calorie diet and gave him some Rimadyl for 10 days. Surgery to be within 2 months, but after he loses 10 pounds. Anyone have any suggestions, besides to 2 cups of high protein diet dog food, no treats, no people food of how to crash diet a dog? He really can't excersise having the one bad leg. Also, she didn't give any suggestions for treating this injury before the surgery. He sometimes limps in the leg and sometimes lifts it up. Thank you so much in advance for all your answers!
