Well, the results of the arthrogram were not as bad as feared. She
does have a small lesion on the articular surface of the left humerus.
The prescription was 6 weeks of restricted activity. I was going
to pen her up in a 16 x 20 run, but it seemed so cruel.
I called a vet that uses nutritional treatments (the first vet admitted
knowing very little about nutrition) and he suggested megadoses of
vitamin C and alfalfa. He also said NOT to change her life too much
--i.e., don't pen her up-- but to limit the ball-chasing and hiking
for a while.
I think that is the course I will take initially. If there is no
improvement, then I will consider the rest treatment, or perhaps some
acupuncture.
Any comments?
