So, from the info you posted, it would seem that surgery is the likely recommendation for Roriee due to duration? From the posts, it seemed like she initially got better but with the relapse (re-injury) I would suppose that healing would be a remote possibility now. Wouldn't it be like scar tissue trying to build onto scar tissue? |
Exactly. Duration being greater than 30 days, plus the fact that the conservative method has been tried, but the fusion that was expected to occur didn't , or wasn't strong enough, resulting in the relapse. Also, pups treated conservatively are much more fragile upon successful completion of treatment than are those treated surgically.
