[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 861236, member: 5601"] renerice I didn’t read all the other post so this might just be repetitive. I agree with your vet, at least this far. Well, he got the physical therapy” part right. It’s the “times a day” I have a problem. Three times a day, ½ hour each, should be plenty. You should exercise the joint for 5 or 10 min then while he is lying down on his stomach, stretch his front Legs straight out in front of him with hoofs on the ground. then apply pressure to the joint and hold it that way. By now I am sure you have been told to do nothing and it will correct itself. That is true. Only the most sever cases need a little therapy. .Believe me about 90% will. Here is a more radical method for the most sever cases. After 2 weeks of therapy with no improvement I tried this method. I keep the splints on for 1 week, then some more therapy for 1 week and he was just fine. The only reason they die from this is that they can’t keep up with mom and starve, or she simply abandon‘s them..
