HELLO!
My 13 month old Golden was just diagnosed with ED. He had a slight limp in his right leg and I took him in where he was then diagnosed. I have an appointment with an orthopedic vet today. Teddy is like my 4th child and will pretty much do whatever I can to make his life a happy one.
I have spent some time researching and find to have a split decision on surgery vs medical treatment. I plan on getting two opinions on his condition so i can go over my options.
How many of you did get the surgery? Is this a a horrible thing ?
He is on Rimdyl and has not limped at all and is acting like himself... i know the side effects can be harsh so I am not really into keeping him on that for too long. I just ordered Glucosamine/ MSM/ sulfate pills to give him daily that i have read can help a ton.
I am so sad for my teddy.
Thanks in advance for your help.
