I have a friend with a purebred German Shepard puppy, she's 8months old and she's been limping pretty bad. The vet diagnosed her with OCD and gave her metacam. Said if it wasn't better in 2 weeks to do Xrays. We've read it can be misdiagnosed alot so we're not sure it is OCD.
She's starting to feel better, been on crate rest for almost 2 weeks and the metacam has helped too. She's starting to put more weight on the joint (front Elbow) but is still limping a bit.
We're wondering if we should be supplementing with anything other than Glucosamine? And right now i think she's giving it once a week, should it be more often? I believe she's looking into Flexicose but isn't sure yet since she has some Glucos left from her last dog.
I know its not a Dane but you all are so helpful and smart, I thought I'd ask
