My 5 month old Rottweiler pup went lame at the weekend for no good reason and was limping a lot, i kept a close watch on her and although it did not get any worse there was no improvement so i took her to the vet within 48hrs & they diagnosed Pano through thorough physical examination - the signs were all there apparently.
I have read a lot about it & i now have a good understanding but what i would like to know is does anyone else have personal experience of this condition?
I have always had big dogs but none of them had this problem before so i wondered if it is common in Rottweilers. I understand it gets better on it's own most of the time but how long can i expect the episodes to last? Is there anything i can do to help her? The vet prescribed some painkiller drops to mix in her food and only 24hrs later she is walking a lot better, but i am strictly controlling her excercise.

Mark, there are lots of threads on this board regarding pano - symptoms, treatments, advice, etc. Use your search button; type in 'pano'; change your search date to perhaps 2 years; and then submit. Many topics will come up for you. If you still need help, perhaps you can narrow down your questions a bit and we will be able to help.
I'm almost positive you'll find all your answers here (and it's pretty interesting reading too.)
My GSD had Pano and I think it was worse for me than him. It would last around a week at a time. Was mostly in the front but at around 9 months moved to the back which seemed to last longer. We just limmited activity by my choise not his. Keep your dog thin and feed good food it will get better.
