After seeing the vet this week he mentioned that Murphys knee felt a bit unstable and I wondered if a knee brace would be an option to help him on walks. He seems ok now btw, we are not letting him jump, run or climb and keeping the walks relatively short but this isnt what hes used to.
I have OA and fibro and I know that KT tape helps support my joints on bad days or flare ups so I guess Im just wondering if anyone has used a brace for a dog in a similar way.

I don't know, but maybe you saw the thread I posted about the great vet we saw last week? He said walking on slopes, particularly uphill, helps build the muscle around the knee.

Sorry @Mad Murphy I absolutely had forgotten! You'll just need to invest in a fancy treadmill.that lets you adjust the gradient. Wit the added bonus that you can do all the uphill without ever needing to do any downhill
