Hi guys after a long 10 weeks we finally know what is wrong with our limping newfy. Thankfully it isnt any type of cancer. It seems along time since the start but we have had a lot of family things going on preventing us getting upto liverpool and she has been managed by our vets until we were able to go.
Basically she had a CT scan done yesterday and they have said hock joint has formed new bony growth which is affecting the ligaments going down the outside of the joint. They took fluid which maybe shows an infection if it does antibiotics of a massive dose for min 12weeks will be given, If not she goes back next week for hock fusing. Iv known it done to horses but never to dogs.
Anyone had it done to there dog? Any experiences how it affected them afterwards? Can they stil bend that leg? I know she will limp forever once done but 2 days ago we ddnt think she would be coming back from liverpool!
