On specfically the knees - keep her lean and trim - allow NO jumping off sofas or beds. Keep her fit. Daily walks. Running around should not be on slippery surfaces. Look at a joint supplement. THis is conservative medical management. She is your dog and by following this advice no harm will come to her. |
I will look into a specialist. But I'm thinking of getting insurance before taking her to a specialist. The only thing she does is go up and down the stairs. They are carpeted but she does like to run up and down them a lot. I try to teach her to go slowly on them but I guess puppy's will be puppy's... Do you have any joint supplements you would recommend? She's 15 weeks old
