I have an 80 pound Rottie that tore her ACL years ago at the cabin. Had the surgery and she still doesn't use the leg much due to muscle deterioration from non-use (at least the pain is gone for her though). Her other leg is strong and healthy and she hasn't torn the ACL on that one. We call her tri-pod because she only uses three of her legs. You can't really get a stubborn dog to realize it's alright to use that other leg to bring it back around with muscle growth. She is super happy and runs/plays all the time. It has been a good 10 years since the surgery.
