A couple of months ago I posted on the forum about Copper's limp and dragging his back legs,I had taken him to a couple of vets, one had no answers and one recommended surgery. Over the weekend I took him to an orthepedic vet who also practices alternative treatment. He took new more extensive x-rays(Coppers last x-rays were when he was 8 months}and has determined that he does NOT have dysplaia. He says it is a back injury and that is why he drags his back legs sometimes.We have had him since 6 weeks and he had the limp when we got him.The doctor said it could have been something as simple as his mother stepping on him as a baby.
He seems to think we can fix this without surgery with V.O.M.{veterinary orthopedic manipulation} and Cold Laser Therapy.
Has anyone had any experience with these treatment? The only down side is this doctor is 200 miles away and Copper needs to see him 1 time a week for 6 weeks. If it gets rid of the pain it will be worth every mile. My son lives about an hour away so I will get to see him more often.
