My pup has had Pano on and off for the last few months (currently just shy of 10 months and weighs 75 pounds). I've been keeping him thin and his activity level to an extreme low when he starts limping again and it just seems to be driving him crazy. I've read that most vets don't even know how to identify Pano on xrays, and with the rate my vet is charging (300 for films, 100 for sedation), I think I'll be holding off.
So, just hoping to hear about some experiences people have had with Pano, things you've noticed help with the pain, etc, etc. His limping has gotten pretty bad and I feel bad for the little guy.

Have you eliminated tick diseases as a possibility before jumping to Pano? My brother's vet had the pup get the x-rays done first, and it turned out the limping was caused by Lyme disease, not pano.

i had a male pup at 7 months that had pano, i used Ester C 1000mg 1 time aday-and this did the trick, its a wonder drug for this problem, it can take a good week for him to feel better , but it will work. most dogs are competely out of Pano by 2 years.

Put him on a low protein diet. Make sure he gets natural sunlight, and restrict his activities. Vitiman C with esther works good also. But in my opinion, making sure he gets plenty of rest is what is most important, as the pano will or should go away in time. But its the suffering that we don't want him to go through that is most important, at least that is how we feel.

I've had this with virtually every male pup I've raised for the last 20 years or so. Get some Rimadyl and keep him quiet; it'll pass.

Yes, it is a pain in the tutu to raise males with pano but it does pass..
Ester c is great and raw meat has natural c...treat him with it if he will eat some/
Give him a pain pill once a day and you have to keep them kenneled and quiet..
brush him, talk to him, let him lay in your den or on the inside room where you are at night to not bore him...you have to force them to be quiet..they do not like sitting and no activity.
I have doggie aspirin I buy from www.revivalanimal.com
and I use the large animal dosage.
just keep lots of water in him and let him be lazy for 10 days to 2 weeks.
When all is clear and he is well, make sure you give him a probiotic for several months

Hi..
My male had also Pano two times between 1-1,5 years old. At the first time he was x-rayd to get right diagnose.
The vet ordered Rimadyl, and it was a very good help. He get well very soon..
Good luck!

Thanks everyone. I'll look into Esther C.
beetree, my vet thought that was a possibility as well so we ran some tests. No Lyme disease! :)

does pano occur while on raw diet?
by edith on 22 June 2012 - 02:06
Pano can be viral. It has been linked to the distemper virus. I had a couple of 6 month old pups get pano after a modified live virus distemper vaccination. Also, if spayed young, I have been told the estrogen produced by the adrenal glands when a female is spayed around 6 months can worsen inflammation.
