Carpal Valgus

Just wondering if any of you have had a pup with this condition. How old were they when it developed, did it get better, any arthritis problems later in life, do you supplement, etc. Any helpful information is appreciated and TIA!

Re: Carpal Valgus

If there is a canine rehab specialist in your area that would be a good place to start as they specialize in movement/structural disorders.

I had a colt with this, we did some corrective trimming on his hooves and I remember there were some excersises that the vet gave me to do with him, he was also on some supplement with extra copper in it. However that's for a horse and you just can't trim a puppies foot. He didn't end up with any issues as he grew or when he was older, he was sound all his life until he died at 22 years old.
