Maddie’s Recovery: Custom CCL Brace for a Tiny Senior Dog

Maddie’s Recovery: Custom CCL Brace for a Tiny Senior Dog

Overcoming the Challenge of Ill-Fitting Braces

Initially, Maddie’s pet parent tried several braces from online retailers, but none seemed to fit her properly. They either caused discomfort or didn’t provide the support she needed for her specific injury. After realizing that a custom solution would be necessary, Maddie’s pet parent reached out to OrthoPaws for expert guidance and a more tailored approach.

A Custom Brace Designed for Maddie

At OrthoPaws, we casted Maddie for a custom Hero CCL brace specifically designed to fit her small frame—the smallest we’ve worked on! The brace was created to stabilize her knee, allowing her to regain mobility and reduce the pain from her torn CCL without the need for surgery. Once the brace was ready, Maddie was fitted with her new support system, and the results were immediate.

Progress and Positive Results

Maddie quickly adapted to her custom brace and was able to walk more comfortably almost right away. Over time, she formed scar tissue in her knee, which allowed her to rely on the brace only during more active periods. Her mobility improved significantly, and she was no longer in constant pain. Her pet parent was relieved to see Maddie getting back to her usual routine.

Pet Parent’s Review

Maddie’s pet parent expressed immense satisfaction with the custom brace and the overall experience with OrthoPaws. After struggling with various online options that didn’t work, finding the right fit through OrthoPaws was a game-changer. “Seeing Maddie walk comfortably again and knowing she didn’t need surgery has been such a relief. We’re very thankful for the support from OrthoPaws and the Hero Brace.”

Insights for Veterinarians: Custom Solutions for Tiny Dogs

Maddie’s case highlights the importance of tailored solutions for dogs with unique needs. Her small size required a custom brace that provided the right amount of stability while allowing her body to naturally form scar tissue over time. For veterinarians, this shows how custom braces can be a valuable alternative for pets who may not be ideal candidates for surgery.
