Often a dog will injure the ACL or CCL when playing or jumping off. Sometimes your vet will recommend surgery and sometimes not. Animal chiropractic along with rehab will often help these dogs regain strength and prevent the other stifle from injury.
In some cases a dog may roach the back since there is a subluxation in the lumbar spine due to compensation from the ACL injury.
