I will need to google some of that to understand but I hope everything is OK. They are part of the family so just as much a worry. Our cat, Scully, had thyroid and diabetes but enjoyed life and enhanced ours.

yes, the muslces should do the work instead of the bones and helping to releave the joint. you will never get any warranty that this ED or HD will not happen to your dog. no breeder can say this. you can try to decrease the probability that this can happen in the way you doing the mating ( looking at the pedigree how often you have any illness in there ) but you can´t be sure there nothing will happen there.

Well, it was quite a shock...we bought from a proper breeder with all the paperwork, hoping this wouldn't happen...but now thinking of it, I'm glad, she ended up with me, she won't have to pull the sleighs or something, being a sled-dog...I guess someone else would have her pull already and probably not even notice she had an issue... she'll be happy with me

yea, the muscles should support the structure of the joint and bone, right?

ok. thats fine. important is that the pain is gone and she not loosing muscle in the backlegs. its important that she is having a good muscle strukture in the legs to save the bones for to much load

I'm not sure if I'm translating correctly, not sure with the medical terms, but so far she had antibiotics intravenously, hyaluronate and takes celadrine pills.

active substance is meloxicam, you should find a equal one in CZ too

you only use celadrin to medicate the inflamation?? normaly she needs some antibiotica to stop the inflammation and/or some painkillers like metacam 1,5mg/ml

So far it works... I'll let her finish a course of Alavis and then get started with Luposan, thanks for the recommendation, laka! XO (Man hug, ofc)

i dont know it but myristin acid and pamitinacid are "only" fatty acids. if it works, it is ok.

*orders luposan..

we're currently using Alavis Celadrin (which should be for inflammations), what do you think about it?

and arthrosis is making her pain. look at this stuff in your country. Luposan Gelenkkraft Pellets - 1350 g: Amazon.de: Lebensmittel & Getränke lot of breeder here using it and having a good results

Silly me, you're right...we have 0-4 (with 0 being counted that's actually 5, zero means healthy joint)) I'm silly, sorry... Thanks mate. I hope it's not that bad thanks!

normaly, at FCI standard, you must also have 5 grades. only with different names. however, with 3 its not such a big thing. mostly means the bonepan or bonehead is having some some unnormal edges or cuts. how i said, take care of her and look that she is not acting like a kangaroo. first point is to heal the inflamation because this is giving here some arthrosis.

we have scale of 1 to 4...so I guess on yours she'd be between c and d (if e is the completely fukced up joint)

what means 3rd degree? every country is having his own "scale". so we have a,b,c,d and e. even with a high grade she can have a nice and happy life. important is that you take care that she is loosing some weight, avoid to climp stairs and jumping.

@laka yea, we kept trying to cure it, after twoo weeks now we decided to get it scanned. Thing is, she has a bad hip joint inflammation, which is easily treatable with medicaments, but the x-ray revealed hip dysplasia

Thanks guys...we just got back...baby still under anaesthesia... We have hip dysplasia in right hind leg 3rd degree...sucks...but I'm hoping that with some extra care she can have a happy life with me.

Hope all goes well with your doggy. Sending good thoughts.

hope all goes well. still the issues we talked for weeks?

Sending virtual hugs to your doggo mate, everything will go well mate ! !

Morning! Today I'm taking my dog for an x-ray of her hind leg everyone wish us luck, just so it's not dysplasia of hips or something serious.

Morning y'all !

Good morning all
