I'll summarize as quickly as I can. MY BOY IS 4 y.o.
About 6 months ago my dog was exercising pretty intensely with me (biking, hiking, swimming, etc.) and one day I noticed all of a sudden he had a limp on his right front leg. After a few days of no change I took him to the vet. Pain relieving meds for a week and very little change. Decided to get x-rays done. Conclusion said "inconclusive evidence of mild elbow dysplasia" and the vet also told me possible early signs of arthritis. From there on she recommended finishing out the pain/anti inflammatory meds and easing up on exercise because the results were inconclusive. He seems to always have a very very slight hitch in his strut now, and it is only truly noticeable after some good exercise.
What do you guys think I should do?
any exercises
any supplements
any recommendations at all are appreciated!
THANK YOUUUUUU :smile2:
