I'd be interested in other people's answers to this issue. My Pixie had a slight case in both rear knees. My vet told me to run them and exercise them. He also recommended NutriCal for the calcium.
So we ran her and exercised the you know what out of her, gave her the NutriCal for bone strength and when we took her back to the vet, her knees were perfect! And have been ever since.
Now I know this probably would not work for a worse case, but Pixie's was very slight. It worked for her.
Oh... we also made sure that during this strengthening period that she did not jump off furniture.
I'd be curious to hear if anyone else got this advice and if it worked for them....? |
