[Expirience of tendon injury causing a flat foot?]

@NeylasMom he is mixed with something so he’s body is bulky, but yes he definitely needs to lose more. He’s on a satiety diet and daily walk and eats breakfast and dinner with no treats. I just hope his flat foot doesn’t get worse but it’s apparently chronic and I dont want him putting more weight on the other front right leg that’s normal.

@greysmom thank you! I actually private messages two of the posters and got their feedback and update on their dogs. 
 

Is NSAID same as carprofen? Titus, my gsd was on it for two months but I expected it didn’t help but that’s me expecting his points goes back to normal, I was just told carprofen helps with inflammation. 
 

I think my biggest fear is my boy not being able to walk or run much as he is very active for an 8yr old and his a little over 100lbs.

Hi @Ingeborg, do you have any updates on how your dog has recovered from her injury?

My girl has something similar going on (she was running full force in the woods and when she stopped she was limping.. I noticed that her right front paw now appears flat.) it has been 3 days now of rest and some anti inflammatories, the limping is better but the paw is still flat and she's still not putting as much weight on it. 

I have an appointment to see Ortho this Wednesday, it's been hard to get a sooner appointment because of covid. 

I hope your girl is doing better. Hope to hear good news! 

 

 

How’s your dog doing? My German shepherd has the same problem now for almost 2 months now.

Hello, my gsd is having the same problem now. How is your dog doing? We are not sure what we want to do. Either move forward with survey or monitor him and provide support and comfort as he is 8yrs old now. He is a bigger boy, a little over 100lbs.
