I just got a call from a friend . quite upset. Their 2 year old female
shepherd came up lame about three weeks ago. The xray showed bone spurs off
the
back of her elbow. One is kind of broken looking and the other seems to be
hooked. She is a very high energy athletic dog and up till now was fine. the
vet
said he has never seen anything like it and has sent off the xrays. he said
it doesnt look good for her though. My friend Jim is really bummed out about
it and I dont want him to make any quick decsions if there is something that
can be done about this. I know some things you can just remove the bone piece
and the lameness goes away.He hasnt had two good of luck with two previous
dogs and he is very close to this one. Please reply if anyone has any
experience with this.

Holly, there's a lot the orthopedic people can do, all the way up to elbow
replacement now, (no kidding, saw a Golden mix in for that at Metropolitan
last year!), so his options are going to be limited only by the experts in his
neck of the woods and his pocket book.
I'd think at the very minimum, they could do what the do for FCP, go in,
remove the fragment and smooth out any rough edges.
