9 weeks old puppy with forelimb abnormalities

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I just got started with this case but I forsee it becoming a lifelong project if

the dog stays locally for rehab.

Case history: 9 week old Labrador Retriever Female, routine vaccinations, severe

overbite (extracted #704/804 to allow for maxillary improvement hopefully),

short thin tail ntoed at birth. Recent exam of elbows because they appeared

thickened to campus staff.

Exam: thickened elbows, left worse than right. Left elbow ROM decreased flexion

(with resentment). Resentment of shoulder extension bilaterally. Equal and FWtB

x4. Stance is somewhat like a bulldog, short upper arm, east/west front feet.

DACVR imaging interpretation pending.

I will attach images in a folder.

So we don't have a diagnosis yet, but has anyone seen something like this and if

so what recomendations for long term treatment would you recomend?

Rehabilitation will start once I have a diagnosis.

Thanks!
