I wanted to say thank you once again to those who offered support and advice over Kelby's elbow dysplasia. We were going with a non surgery option until I couldn't stand to see her in such pain anymore. She went downhill too rapidly for my liking. We had surgery two weeks ago and her recovery has been incredible. The surgeon is amazed and I think even at this early stage it was the right thing to do for us. She's a different dog and of course she thinks she's all better! The stitches have just come out and now we keep her quiet and wait and see. Thanks again. I'm not necessarily advocating surgery. It was an extremely tough decision but in this case I think the right one. Jess MSN Instant Messenger now available on Australian mobile phones. Find our more.
Elbow dysplasia surgery?
Hi there, We have a Bernese puppy of eight months, named Kelby. She has been diagnosed with elbow dysplasia. The choice we face is to operate now (while she's young) or to manage her condition with anti-inflammatories, shark cartlidge and limited exercise. From case histories from the two breeders we know, an operation doesn't guarantee success, in some cases the dog has been worse because of the operation. Could anyone give us their experiences with surgery as we're unsure which course to take? Many thanks Jess htmlPnbsp;/P/html _ MSN Instant Messenger now available on Australian mobile phones.
