Hi there, has anyone had experience with their dog having a hock fusion due to severe osteoarthritis?
My boy (Belgian shepherd) is 7 years old and after excluding lower back issues we finally found that his hock joint is wrecked.
For the moment we are taking conservative measure only - hock brace, cartrophen injections, NSAIDS and various dietary supplements but we are considering the arthrodesis some time in the future.
He also had a stem cell injection however it has not made any difference.
