Hi,
I am new to the forum and new to English Bulldogs, I am trying to make sure my bully gets the best care because its only since I got him I have discovered the problems they can have. Recently my 17 month old male bulldog has developed an occasional limp, it seems to move from his left to right front legs and seems worse when he gets up from rest/sleeping and, worse of all, his leg sometimes seems to give way as he walks yet he has no problem at all running and jumping.
I have taken him to the vet twice now, the first time the vet could not find anything wrong after examination, the second he thought his left leg was a little swollen and gave us an anti-inflammatory liquid to apply to his leg. The leg has got no better after nearly a week of being treated with this liquid so I started to research possible causes and thats when I found the term "pano".
I am going to ask the vet this weekend to look for early on set of arthritis and also rule out lyme disease but I believe from what I have read that it looks like "pano", I would very much appreciate replies from owners who's bulldogs have had "pano" and how they treated it? is the dog in a lot of pain from it? and how long did it take to disappear?
Thanks in advance.
