Wookie usually just gets over it too. Has aggravated it only a couple times in the past year where it was popping out. The GlycoFlex really seemed to help him. But this time he just isn't gettin past it. I am thinking he is using it too much. It seems to have even gotten a little worse since I posted this thread the other night. So, I went and bought stairs for the bed yesterday (smart lil guy has already started using them) and a step for the couch. I have laid in bed with him the past couple days cause that is the only way I can get him to lay down and rest. If I get up and around he wants up and around and to play too. I did some research online and it talked about crate confinement until it heals. So I think tomorrow when I go to school (I start dog grooming school tomorrow!) I am going to put him in my small laundry room where he doesn't have anything to jump on or room to run while I am gone. Maybe he will continue to get some good rest. (His crate is too small for him to spend the day in) I am also gonna try get him into the vet this week to see what she says. Hopefully she will think the rest is good and maybe he will need to go up to the GlycoFlex II (he is on I now). I don't know, I just don't think he is to the surgery point yet. He falls under the description of grade 2. The knee cap doesn't stay out, it pops back in after just a couple seconds. Its just happening a lot right now. Hopefully she won't want to put him on Rimadyl cause I don't think I will let her. I have read too many bad things about that med. Anyone have an opinion on that? Or any ideas of what else I could do to help? |
