Fibrocartilagenous embolus

[Guest guest]

I have been working with a 3 yr old Lab who was diagnosed with FCE. His left

pelvic limb was primarily affected. After 3 months of rehab he is back to

normal activity and has almost completed his rehab program. The dog has had

what the owner is calling a relapse, with the same symptoms, the same leg

affected. He said the dog looks just like he did the day the FCE occured the

first time. I have never seen a relapse of FCE patients. What experience do

you all have with a recurrance of FCE.

Thanks,
