ACL surgery for cats cost around $500.00 to as much as $2,000.00 depending on the vet and how bad the ACL injury is.

The cost of cranial cruciate ligament debridement will vary based on standards of living as well as additional costs incurred.

The cost of cranial cruciate ligament surgery, including debridement, ranges from $500.00 to $2,500.00

The average cost of treating this condition is $1,000.00

Cats can often live comfortable lives with that injury, so there may be other options.

Vets will often treat the ACL injuries in cats with medical management by placing overweight cats on a strict diet with exercise restriction for three to six weeks, followed by a check-up measuring progress.

If the injury fails to heal, surgery is often recommended to explore and stabilize the joint.

In cats, a cruciate ligament ruptures occur when it tears or ruptures completely.

This injury makes the knee unstable, and the bones in the leg begin to move in an abnormal direction.

This instability can cause debilitating pain and stiffness in your cat's legs.
