[tonioyantao]

---

MY 5 month old great dane puppy suddenly refused to stand up and have a very high fever and not eating she spends most of the time sleeping. her

today her fever is getting lower which is good.
ived been doing a little research and it seems that the problem subsides naturally in about a week or two.

does any1 have experience with HOD and how to take care a puppy suffering from HOD, she is practically bedridden only standing up to go pee and poo. she is a house dog and i dont own a cage.

gud day bai,during my clinician days i happen to attend to a st.bernard puppy with similar symptoms displayed by ur dane pup.the diagnosis of that st.bernard pup,is osteochondrosis.this condition may occur in any dogs actually but is heightened in growing dogs (usually 2 to 6 mos) specially large & giant breeds.this is actually a result of rapid growth & the joints affected are the limbe,elbows or stifle,it is not surprising that the condition gives rise to inflammation & limping.bring ur pup to the vet nalang jud to be properly assessed & be given its ample medication.but usually ang advised treatment is rest & anti inflammation & pain medication.
