~Archie~ Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Mum's Lab has hip dysplasia. He didnt have any surgery, we have treated him with a course of pentosan every 6 - 12 months, joint guard every day and he gets a non steroidal when he gets really bad.

Nekhbet Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 If you are close to Berwick, try Berwick Vet Hospital - they do PennHIP x-ray readings and Dr Drummond can tell you the best way (surg and non surgical options) that will help him live comfortably teh longest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaves Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Dexter has hip dysplasia Sorry to hear that. Some people have had great success with Ester C tablets helping to ease pain. That could help also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Cartrophen injections, Joint Guard and fish oil capsules (1000mg per 10kg bodyweight) is an effective combination for some dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmolo Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Thanks guys- Miranda, thats the plan at this stage as well as an initial course of carprophen. Poor Dexter- he just wants to bounce around and run hard with the other dogs and he can't :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 AAhh :D Well, at least now you can plan an attack, and 'grow' with it. All the best for Dexter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
