Medial / Lateral Grade 2 Knee - Chinese Crested

Post by Lisi »

My 9lb Chinese Crested has a Grade 2 knee problem - she was a great little agility dog and really does enjoy it.

I have been swimming, walking on the treadmill to keep her pace even and balanced.

Would one of these braces assist in the development of rear end muscles?

Many thanks

I can't speak to that, but my cousin who has broken titanium screws in her back was told by doc that she should not wear her back brace, as her back muscles will atrophy. Ask doc about muscle developement and atrophy... There is nothing cuter than a Chinese Crested!
