What exercises can I do to strengthen the tendons in my knee? I want to get back to dancing (ballet) as soon as possible.

Yes, and so has my friend. Lots of pain and lots of surgery!
I think most of your stretches in ballet that you do would be very helpful now, if it is not too much pain and you are starting to move around better. Don't start unless you have rests a couple weeks. Don't do anything with too much pressure, just act like you are warming up, which you are, your muscles anyway. Good luck with your knee and I hope you can get back into dancing real soon!

Been there, done that. Follow your vets instructions. Also, once you get the approval of the vet, get her swimming. Swimming is the very best exercise you can give her. Also, if she's a little on the heavy side, get the weight off of her. There is a 50% chance, the cruciate on the opposite leg can also tear from the extra weight the dog will be putting on it. You don't need a litter box. Most likely, the vet will want the dog walking on it right away. So you can take her outside to potty and bring her back in.

I have , and it is one of thee most painful things I have ever experienced. I literally have to use a fist and punch it back into place. Really, you need to strengthen the whole leg. Not just the knee, If you "Search " on Yahoo for the exercises , they will come up. I had to go to physical therapy for this. They did all kinds of stuff.

You need to get advice from a doctor or be referred to someone who knows what you should do. My ex-in-laws all have terrible knees. I've seen several of them have the kneecap dislocate on them - tons of pain.
