Re: Cruciate Ligament

[rona]

Thanks for prompt replies. Alf hasn’t been xrayed yet as my vet is not the type to put him through anything which is not vital. She managed to manipulate the joint with him fully awake cos he’s such a softy, the joint is a little swollen and he has been on flexi joint for about a year now and has just started cod liver oil.
My main problem with him, is that he is used to being out with me all day as i have a job were he can come, and we usually walk for about 2-3 hours a day, so you can imagine the poor little hard done by eyes every time he thinks he should be out! With this amount of time running around I can assure you that he is not overweight.
He was a rescue dog that I homed when he was 20 months old and he had not been exercised very much and had no muscles at all, I thought that I had built him up slowly but maybe I over did it, as he has had problems with a front leg as well.
I have managed to track down his breeder so when I have time I will find out if any others have had problems
