So sorry! Did you ask your vet to recommend a specialist in your area? It's very common in little dogs so that is probably why it's coming up like it does in your google searches. Sorry not much help, but I would think a vet would be able to lead you to a specialist. My Great Pyrenees has knee problems too and the orthopedic specialist here said it's because he is bow legged and the only true way to correct it for good would be to break and set his legs in braces.....please know Im only sharing this with you to tell you we chose not to do such drastic measures because the specialist told us he wouldn't recommend it....my GP was 2 at the time and he said it would take about two years worth of small surgeries. GP only live 8 to 10 years so I didn't think that was a great quality of life for him to keep going through. So he recommended we start my healing the ligaments that hold the knee cap in place so for two weeks he had very strict bed rest and started on glucosime and fish oil tablets. Now because he is the size of a human our vet said to give him the same stuff an adult human would take. It's been over two years now and he has done amazing. The key is that we don't let him get over weight and keep him in shape with daily walks. Hope that helps you some! Hugs to your baby boy! |
