Will either of these help the issue? He also already had muscle atropophy(sp) happening in the leg with the dysplasia. I'm hoping that if the anti-inflammatory helps with the pain then he'll use that leg & build the muscle back up. |
Nothing short of surgery will correct this issue....The mild anti-inflammatory is to keep him comfortable and reduce inflammation.
