he suspects that my dog has OCD (Osteochrondritis Dissecans). Just wondered if anybody's dog had experienced this and if it ended happily.

We've been prescribed with some anti-inflammtory pills and exercise restriction for two weeks, if nothing improves then its time for x-rays e.t.c. and probably surgery, which needs to be done before his growth rate slows down.

I'm worried sick, so any advice /reassurance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I believe that in young animals this condition often just goes away. It can be a result of injury to the joint. Hope that will ne the case with your dog :luck: :luck: :luck:

I read that earlier, but more often than not it has to be corrected with surgery. It seems to be getting worse.
