Bone malformation

Hi everyone, since 15th July, my 9-month-old Husky puppy has been limping on his front left leg after playing with another dog. It seems to be coming from his elbow. We’ve had several X-rays and even a CT scan, which revealed a bone malformation. There aren't any fractures, so he doesn't need surgery. He has to take Omega-3 supplements and Flexadin Advanced. I was wondering if any of you have ever dealt with this with your own puppy? Did it eventually clear up once they were fully grown, or did it stay like that? Thanks for your replies.

    Hello

    Walks need to be supervised, as people often say. Otherwise, it’s going to be difficult.

    Given how debilitating this is in terms of mobility, we don’t have any concrete information to help. This needs to be followed up by your vet.

    1. Obviously, Omega-3s and Flexadin Advanced combined aren’t going to fix what seem to be congenital problems.

    Best of luck

    Hello,

    I think the prognosis really depends on the specific type of elbow malformation and how it develops while they're still growing. The fact that there is no fissure and surgery isn't recommended is reassuring, but it doesn't necessarily mean the limping will disappear completely.

    If I were you, I would keep a close eye on how it progresses with your vet, especially as they finish growing. Don't hesitate to ask them any questions you might have.

    In the meantime, following the exercise recommendations and avoiding rough play or heavy exertion can help avoid putting further strain on the elbow.

    Best of luck!
