My Dog Has Completely Torn His Achilles Tendon. What Should I Do?

Treatment for Achilles Tendon injuries in dogs will depend on the severity of the injury. In some cases, conservative management may be all that is needed. This involves rest, restricted activity, pain medication, and the use of a splint or brace to help support the leg and joint.
