Hey everyone, I have a 6 month old Cane Corso, his name is Onyx. We recently noticed he was limping but didn’t think anything of it but growing pains since he is a large breed pup. After a few days we decided to take him to the vet because limp=pain. When we took him in we got pain/inflammatory medications but still decided to be on the safe side and to get x-rays for a clear mind for us and for him. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with bilateral Osteochondritis dissecans in his joints also known as OCD. OCD is a joint condition in which bone underneath the cartilage of a joint dies due to lack of blood flow. This bone and cartilage can then break loose, causing pain and possibly hindering joint motion. My boy is only 6 months and it’s so heartbreaking seeing him in this condition never imagined this would happen but I am hoping for help on his surgery. It isn't just one shoulder but both. This surgery will allow him to going back to being a puppy and living pain free. Surgery is at least $4,500 each joint. Anything will help benefit him to put him on the road to this surgery and to recovery. I pray for a fast and easy surgery for him, I will shortly attach his x-ray reports and the medicines they have started him on to not only help with his pain/inflammation but for calming so he doesn’t jump/run. He has been on strict bed rest and I pray this goes by fast for him so we can go back to the beach or for a simple walk. Thank you so much for taking time to read this and any donations will be directed to his surgery costs/ medication/ additional blood work.
