Hey guys! I have been in search for some tips on my bear. Over the last several months we have been battling knee issues. He first injured the ligaments in his right hind leg and started limping and putting weight on his left hind leg. After X-rays and an exam our vet told us it was his patella. It was not out of place, but there was fluid build up and damage to his ligaments/cart ledge. After his injection at the vet, anti-inflammatory meds, first round of pain meds, and keeping his activity level way down. he started to seem much better. Then suddenly his left hind leg gave out due to all the weight he had been putting on it for the past month. Each month it seems it is rotating between knees. At late evenings it gets the worst. He is only 14 months old. The vet wants us to give it 3 more months of healing and the. Go back in for more X-rays to check for improvement. Last week the vet took him off pain meds and anti-inflammatory to see how he would handle and honestly I do not see a change in his disposition. He is taking Dasuquin every 12 hours. I was wondering if anyone here had dealt with this or had any advice on what else we could do? We were told about Joint Juice so I am going to see where I can purchase that. But any other tips are gladly welcome... Hes my baby and I want him better!
