Dear all. I have a 6 year old Lab that was just diagnostic with a problem in her knee. The Vet took X-Rays and he said it is a deformation in the bone that will get worst with the time. He said there is nothing to bu but give her pain pills and some natural suplements to help her bone and joint. I live here in Mexico and as you know we are not as developed as in USA. So I was wondering if someone could let me know about a good Vet (If possible in San Antonio, TX Area since it is closer) so I can take my puppy there. She has a lot of problems walking. She used to be such an active girl and now is so sad look at her just laying down there not being available to play because of the pain. Thanks a lot!!

Do you know specifically what part of the knee is affected?

If it's the patella (a common issue in dogs) then there are options such as surgery, but it can be very expensive.
A lot of people just leave it though, often it causes more discomfort than pain and it can be managed.

Unfortunately I can't recommend a vet to you as I'm on the other side of the world.

This is FAR away from Texas, but at least it's in the US. George D. Widener Hospital for Large Animals

Who knows, you may be able to get x-rays or whatever and talk to a vet there and travel to have the surgery or whatever.

Thanks a lot

It is the inner side of the knee join. There is like an extra layer of tissue or bone calcitication. Also the lower bone that holds the kneecap instead of being with round edges, is starting to have like peak edges. The Vet said that is why it is so
