It has been one week since the Bentman partially tore his ACL and we have survived. Lol. Pain and anti inflammatory meds plus full-time harness are working. Long carpet runners from Home Depot help stabilize him on slippery floor areas. He is still not happy about coming and going outside when he wants to but who says an old dog can't learn new tricks. After careful consideration and Vet consults no brace for back leg. Roux is his shadow and the kitties are glad to rub on him when he is outside. Walter could care less. Ha ha! Thanks for all the suggestions on different braces, folks. Lots of research done but none are optimal at this time. The biggest woofer is still a-woofin louder than ever!
