Found a vet about 40 mins away that did acupuncture and wanted to try Adequain which is an anti- inflammatory injection that is given inter-muscularly. We saw some small improvements but Ranger HATED the accupuncture. The vets office was purchasing the companion laser which stimulates cell growth, decreases inflammation and has had excellent success in both humans and pets. Well Ranger is now back to his puppy antics and running around the yard. He is back to his happy self. He will always have a limp but is now able to get around much better and you can feel the difference in his elbow the swelling is gone. He goes once every three weeks for his injection and laser treatment and he is on no other medication.
I am so glad I sought out other options for him and didn't just put him on pain meds for the rest of his life
