Not sure what the original question was, but as far as I know, there are two different ways of repairing a cruciate ligament, and the success rate varies as to which methods is used. As far as I can remember, hydrotherapy is useful once the wound has healed to get the dog exercising again and build up muscle again, after a period of enforced rest.
HTH.Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j

Not really - otherwise it would be populated by vets! So much will depend on the type of cruciate repair, how old the dog is, how heavy he is, etc etc etc. I could say 6 weeks and your vet might say 3 weeks. All will be different. You wouldnt be allowed to ask the same question on here for a human, so I'm not sure it's so different for an animal.0 -
From my limited knowledge, healing takes weeks rather than days. It can be a long road. If it's just one cruciate gone you need to be aware of the extra pressure that will be put on the good leg.
Some people only exist as examples of what to avoid....0 -
