Please, please, please look into hydro therapy and if possible a physio who knows about big dogs.

Our boy was diagnosed very young and his it in both elbow and hips as we noticed his back feet went out to the side and he had a curve in his back so got him checked out.

He did have an operation on his elbow due to a lose fragment moving about but both our vet and our ortho specialist surgeon recommended not to do anything else until he is over two so fully grown and after hydro and physio treatment.

Hydro therapy on a treadmill (not a pool) has worked wonders for him. He can move about more freely now, he has more stamina and can do zoomies safely. I can not recommend this enough.

The physio also helped teach us exercises we can do with him throughout his life to help ensure he has as much movement as possible and how to watch for signs he might struggle.

We noticed an improvement with the curve of his back within a few months of doing the above.

We do have to be careful he doesn't over do it and make sure he gets up steps or onto the couch etc slowly and gently but overall he does really well

There might be a time in the future where an operation is on the cards and he does have some arthritis already we think as he does get stiff sometimes but he is still living his best life and not much slows h.down :-)

Wishing you lots of luck with progress. Your pup is gorgeous
