Peter Marek Webboard User Reg: 03-05-2009 Posts: 274 Loc: NJ, USA Offline	hi folks, I've read on the forum here that raw feed dogs do not get pano. Is that a generalization or are there cases where this can happen? It seems as though Kaiser has another case of pano - this time in his right leg. Last time was just before I started hium on raw and was his left leg. He has grown quite a bit over the last couple months and am wondering if SOMETIMES - even a raw feed dog can get pano? Enlighten me please. No, I am not an alien!

Because kibble often CAUSES rapid growth, and raw feeding generally encourages slow, steady growth, it is commonly said that raw dogs are less likely to develop Pano. However, genetics and other factors may also contribute to Pano, so feeding raw alone isn't going to prevent it. Might reduce the risk, but some dogs are gonna get Pano no matter what. Additionally, if the dog developed pano before switching to raw, changing his diet may lessen the severity, but it probably isn't going to eliminate it completely.

Hers resolved quickly--with a short course of Rimadyl she was symptom-free within a couple of weeks and it never returned. I still think that raw-feeding helps to maintain a slow growth rate. But nothing's a sure thing. eta: we got her at age 4 months--and had been kibble-fed up to that time. Cinco | Jack | Fanny | Ellie | Chip | Deacon

Cindy remarked once that she has not seen pano in her litters again since switching to raw (years ago). The slower (but steady) growth on a natural diet is probably the reason, IMO, since pano is basically what in humans we used to call "growing pains," which happen when adolescents have rapid growth spurts.
