Thumbs up Elbow Dysplasia

Our little guy (4 months) has just been diagnosed with Elbow Dysplasia. He's getting XRAYS now to determine exactly what - the VET thinks either a Fragmented Coronoid Process or an Ununited Anconeal Process. We purchsed him from a reputable breeder and are shattered to say the least. We feed him Royal Cannin and Eagle Pack, and live near a beach, so I suspect swimming will become a regular activity for him.

If anyone has any advice for how to manage him over the long term it would be much appreciated - diet, amount of exercise, remedies that have helped etc..

Re: Elbow Dysplasia

I only have a second, but two thoughts

Don't ever let him get fat and get him on a good joint supplement now
