This blog is dedicated to helping Duke the Bullmastiff. It was created in an effort to raise funds for him so he can get surgery on his torn ACL. It was also created as a way to take you with him on his journey to healing.

X-Ray
Duke's X-Ray doesn't
show his torn ACL as it is a ligament, but if you look closely between the knee there is a gray area. That should be dark and it is not. That was the first indication of his torn ACL. It is fluid build up in and around his knee. The second confirmation was what the Dr. calls drawer movement. When the knee is checked for left to right movement. There should not be any "give" and there was due to his tear.
