young GSD's with carpal hyperextension

[Guest guest]

I see that there have been quite a few posts in the past about carpal hyperExt

in young dogs, especially GSD's. We have worked with 3 in the past 4 years. We

definitely do manual therapy and swimming with them for non-impact

strengthening. We had custom orthotics made from K9 Prosthetics for the most

recent patient who did well with them for about a month and then we never heard

back from the client, even though he must have outgrown the orthotics. We have a

new one coming in soon. Has anyone had experience long-term with these cases? As

I've said, we have seen a few cases but the clients always " disappear " - not

sure if they are unhappy with outcome, etc or what. I would just like to know

more info about long-term cases - improvement?

Thank you,
