pano does not necessarily present itself on both sides; one of the hallmarks of the condition is that the lameness often shifts from leg to leg as the pup grow

This what my vet said too. she said if is suddenly changes legs it is a indication of pano

I'm a novice so I try to choose my words carefully. I need to clairify - I said pano NORMALLY presents itself on both sides meaning shifts from one side to the other. I didn't mean it occurs in both sides at the same time.

I'm glad Orson is doing well - he's a big boy at 92lbs - wow!

someone in our club has a dog that started limping for no appearant reason. after visits to 3 different vet's, they found that one leg grew slightly longer then the other and the dog has a natural limp. the dog is not in any pain. can do all Schutzhund work very nicely but will never be used as a stud.

Keith,

Indeed a dog with pano MAY very well have specific differences on x-ray in the long bone. See here.......

Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving.

That picture looks PAINFUL. No wonder. Does anybody have a medium sized dog that got it? My girl's brother did when he was about 10 months, but he eventually topped out at 105. I'm wondering if normal sized dogs get it.

VomMarischal,

Like I've said, my puppy got pano at 10 weeks old! He was really big boned and it was so painful for him that he wouldn't eat or drink. He was put on Tramadol and then at least he would eat and drink. The Pano lasted for about 1 month. Sad to see him limping around and on top of that he fractured his 2 front toes on the opposite side! So, crate rest for a good while. Get out for bathroom breaks and a little fresh air but that is about it. He is as good as new now at 8 months and you'd never know there was ever anything wrong.

JRANSOM, did he turn out big or normal?

by JRANSOM on 26 November 2009 - 05:11

Right now he is almost 25 inches and weighs 65 lbs. last time I weighed him about 10 days ago.
He is very lean. He totally surpasses my 21month old female. Although she seems tiny to me at 53 lbs. She looks bigger than 53 lbs.

I'd rather have a pano on my dog than soft tissue injury. Pano is self limiting. Torn tendon needs surgery.

Prager beat me to it Yes, i woukd ratherva Pup have Pano than a soft tissue injury That can be put right but can also flare up at different times More so if you want the Dog for working in a Sport, However i hope it heals quick and stays away
