I have an 8 yr old yellow who had OCD in his hock. He started limping at 7 months and has never stopped. The joint is arthritic and has now fused but it doesnt stop him doing anything.
The trend with Vets is to x-ray the hip and elbow joints and as a result, with Barney, it was put down to growing pains. It was only evident it was his hock when the joint started to swell.

Tragically, 9mth old choc is having major hip troubles following a fall (no hip score as yet) but right is alot worse than left. Elbows seem ok - touch wood.
I work in 'mental health' so thought OCD was Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (so was going to answer 'yes' due to strange behaviour such as collecting sticks one by one and putting them in a very neat pile!), but don't think she has it.
My heart really goes out to anyone who is caring for a poorly lab - it's definatley NOT fun for anyone.

Just been reading this topic with interest as the vet thinks my 7 year old Lab Cross might have OCD in his front elbow. Looks like we're going to have a trip back to the vets soon and I guess from what we were told last time it'll be an x-ray to confirm whether or not Ben has OCD.

Hi
So sorry to hear about Tia. How devastaing for you.
My dog Charlie was diagnosed with severe HD at 6 months and has had both his hips replaced at the age of 1 year.
He is now 17 months old and leads a really good, normal, painfree life.
Not all dogs need surgery and the majority can lead good lives with supplements and gentle exercise.
I'm sure the vet in Cambridge will advise you onthe best treatment for Tia.
There are lots of posts about HD in the 'health issues' section if you have a look. You might also be better posting in that section rather than in here. Maybe one of the mods could possibly move it
Have a look at www.lab-health.co.uk

Hi,
I have two black labs (Blaze and Murphy) both 10 months old and one is having surgery today for OCD. He has been limping for some time now and has a lot of trouble getting up after resting. We have been to the vets a couple of times to have his leg looked at but found nothing wrong. We eventually had some x-rays taken a couple of weeks ago and were referred to a specialist immediately. We took Blaze this morning and when the surgeon looked at his x-rays he noticed a hairline fracture which he said would have been the cause for his OCD. We have always been careful with our dogs and they have never even been upstairs, but he did come in from the garden yelping one day and although the vet found no injury I think that must have been when he injured his leg.
The good thing is Blaze should make a full recovery from this after his op, and can lead a happy and full life again with his brother.
I just wanted to remind people how important it is not to over exercise your dog for the first 12 months while their bones are still developing. I know it is hard as their energy levels increase and you can't wrap them in cotton wool, but please give your dog the best possible start in life that you can.
