clueless 11 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Dog started skipping a day or so ago not been to vet yet but a quick scan on the old interweb and its most likely luxating patella. If it is the case anyone got any experience of it own dogs with it ect.. like I said not diagnosed but symptoms sound bang on I've felt around his let0onee and don't feel anything popping off track, sideward or anything but I'm just thinking ahead .

RossM 8,149 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Mate had a Russell that every 5th step was a skip, never hindered it and the wee b*****d lived till he was 18. But saying that your probably best getting a diagnosis by a vet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clueless 11 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I know I'll be best getting it diagnosed I was just leaving it a few days just incase it was something else. Anyone have any advice on supplements or diet that may help I read a low carb diet I'm asking on here because I wouldn't be suprised if vet tried selling me unneeded need and special diet that's not with shit.

sandymere 8,263 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 the vet may well try to sell any number of supplements, theres a look at them here. http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-top-ten-pet-supplements-do-they-work/ I'd go for some cod liver oil. Don't see much to be gained from a low carb diet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
