Guest guest Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I have a 5yo F Borzoi that had a traumatic accident and became non-wt bearing on the RFL. Owner didn't see exactly what happened but dog possibly got T-boned by her Border Collie and either flipped or hit a tree or something like that. The dog originally had nerve deficits to that leg but when I saw it 3 days post accident it was placing the leg well but barely wt bearing and screaming when doing so. After 1 week of treating with gentle massage, laser and a host of homeopathic meds the caregiver has been giving the dog (owner is away), we finally have controlled the pain enough to determine that there is medial instability. We have about 25deg more abduction in the R leg then the normal L leg. This had been difficult to assess previously as the dog screamed anytime we manipulated the shoulder. What are the groups thoughts on treating a dog this large with this problem?? Tracey DVM, CCRT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
