Garry,
Thanks. The vet visit went even more downhill when they said both dogs have ringworms. Just one of those days. Ken |

Thank goodness no ringworm experience, but I must say I've seen more injuries from our dogs "horsing around" than from hunting. We try to limit it, but, especially in the off season, and with a young dog, it's difficult to keep them from playing (and you feel like Scrooge when you do).
Again, my best to your girl.

I had my dog Missy experience double torn CCL’s. Same thing. I decided against surgery and let her run free in the back yard and gave her high doses of fish oil. Although she always ran and sat funny after that. Things improved and she hunted as well as any dog I have owned for the next 5 years.

We don’t hunt our small golden, but he tore both 1 year apart. Decided against the surgery and opted for Dasuquin supplements every day since. He recovered very well and, even though a bit bow legged, runs and has no residual limitations. Good luck.

That's tough. My 8 year old Llew is having rear leg problems. Lame after 30 minutes running and wanting to put almost no weight on that leg. Did 600 bucks worth of xrays and blood work which showed nothing at all. Back to the vet again next week with perhaps the idea of doing and MRI. Big decision at that age whether you want to spend 4 K to get TPLO done or just try to rest for a few months during the off season because its not torn. Vet thinks perhaps a small tear in the CCL, but the only way to diagnose that is with an MRI and that's 1100 bucks.

Sorry to hear that Tom. I’m waiting to get Belle scheduled for the surgery. It will probably be after the ringworm treatment.
