Abstract
Complete ruptures of the Achilles tendon were repaired in two hunting dogs of a 3-year-old, 20 kg and a 4-year-old, 14 kg with non weight bearing lameness. Both dogs were injured by wild animals and the skin defect was showed on the caudal surface of the right limb. Surgical repair involved the attachment of the ruptured tendon with a three-loop pulley method, using nonabsorbable suture materials. After surgical procedure, a bivalved cast was applied and maintained for 6 weeks. Exercise was restricted for 2 weeks more before gradually returned to normal. Gait and standing posture of dogs were returned to normal during the follow-up of 10 weeks.
