My 20kg collie also started on 50mg, but made him incredibly sedated and completely lost his appetite on it. My vets ordered in a lower dose (25mg I think) in a tablet form, and he just had one. Certainly not a drug I'd like to give willy nilly, but DID help when nothing else did. I'd defiantly...
It's certainly not the end of the road. I'm with everyone else defiantly give him some more time, as sometimes it does plateau between 1-2 years. My first dog was diagnosed at 8 months with also 'worst case of HD my vet has ever seen'. We ended up going for surgery BUT only after we had...
I don't usually reply to threads but this one made me want too. I agree with the majority that you need to set boundaries with your child. This happened to me st 4/5 years old, always had dogs and at the time had the friendliest boxer in the world. Dog was sleeping on the floor next for he sofa...
Hi Alec,
Thank you for all you said. I am too very worried how quickly its advanced at such a young age.
I will be asking the vet this week many questions. My previous one was just normal vet, however its a specialist we are seeing this week.

Just looking for anyone's experiences with this surgery in regards to severe hip dysplasia. Dog is only 1 and already has very severe hip dysplasia.
What's the recovery time like/is it successful? We are back at the vets on Monday to discuss options in deeper detail as his current regime...

Does anone have any suggestions for rehabs yards in NW?
Horse recovering from ligament injury, and isn't the best to bring back into work so was thinking of sending him to rehab for first few weeks.
Anywhere with an hour or two would consider as long as good recommendations.
Must have...
I've ridden in riding club for years on teams at qualifiers, and never been allowed to wear mine. Not sure whether that's just my RC rules of BRC's. not sure about normal non qualifiers though.
Hi, that's great thank you. He's defiantly hundred percent sound just will always have a very small swelling on his leg, although you'd really have o feel to feel it. Not really looking to qualify but after having him from a baby just wants carry on having fun! I think he should do okay as he...
Firstly, hello :) been a browser for a long time but finally got round to registering, and jumping at opportunity for some advice. I'm the very lucky owner of a 16.3 warm blood who unfortunately suffered a leg injury last year which will mean he's not jumping for the foreseeable future! He's 18...
