I have an 8 month old Bernese Mt. Dog named Wally. When he was appox. 6 months he developed a limp and was xrayed. He was diagnosed with OCD by his vet and I also took him and his xray to an Orthopedic Surgeon. The OCD was confirmed. We were told to rest him for 2 months (lease walk and crate). We leash walk him and keep him a calm as possible. He outgrew his crate and has a lovely sunroom to call his with a cozy bumber bed. Anyway, the hope is rest will cure Wally and that surgery will not be necessary. The surgeon thinks that opens the door for arthritis moreso than what can possibly develop without surgery. Does anyone have any experience with this situation. Wally's breeder has not had any experience with the condition and feels as though Wally injured himself (which is possible). Either way, he has OCD and I would like more information.
