Meet Bossier

Tested HW- in Nov 2023, but positive in July 2024. Will do slow kill. Came to us with a limp/holding rear leg up. 11/28/23 Dr. Cody at MSAH examined and recommended surgery for a partial CCL tear. After carprofen/gaba the limp stopped. 12/20 Dr. Joe re-examined and said the knee had minimal play and he wasn't comfortable doing surgery at this point. He may need it some time down the line, but his knee is currently stable and not causing pain. 7/1 limp returned, LC vet says it's bothering him and should be addressed. 10/25/2024 saw MSAH again. Dr Joe said he has some arthritis in his left hip. Right knee and hip look totally fine! Said PRP might help but would recommend librela injections first…. if not an option, then just joint supplements and carprofen as needed.
