I have copies of Quynnes parents results and her sire had perfect hips and elbows and her dam had slightly less than perfect but only compared to the sire (2 points), very well within acceptable breeding levels.
Quynne was born Sept 29, 2004. She has not displayed any physical problems until yesterday when we were half way home from our walk before work. All of a sudden she started limping and I had to tie her to a post so I could run and get my car to pick her up ... she could not walk any further.
I got a vet appointment that day and there was definite swelling around the humerus. I (and the vet) thought it was wise to get an X-ray to rule out osteosarcoma - I also asked for her hips to be done in case it was cancer, to make sure she could cope with an amputation if necessary. That was done today and thankfully she does not have osteosarcoma and her hips are perfect. However, the X-Ray shows that she has ununited anconeal process in the right front leg.
Does anyone have experience with this surgery and any tips on rehabilitation and also coping with a very active dog during this surgery???
