7 year old German shepherd has been limping.

Hello vets My 7 year old German shepherd has been limping on her RH leg since 12/15/21. Vet gave her pain medication. They did do a X-ray’s on 12/22/21 they said that she has panosteitis after doing some research I don’t think that is right. Can you please help me?

Hello!  It sounds as though you disagree with your vets' diagnosis, although you do not explain why.  So the question is, what can you do from here? Seeking a second opinion is certainly a strong idea, although that is beyond the scope of this site and I have not examined the radiographs. Usually, for a professional second opinion, one would go to someone with more knowledge of the field involved than the initial vets - that is, an orthopaedic or radiology specialist in this case - and it is usual to ask to be referred there by your own vet.  Clients can feel nervous about this but, as a vet, I can cheerfully state that I don't mind this sort of referral - if I am wrong about something, it will help the pet and I will learn from the process.  If I am correct, it will help to increase the clients' confidence in me. Because digital x-ray is now widespread, referring radiographs has never been easier and we would suggest that you call your vet right away in order that an answer can be with you as soon as possible.   You should also to have a chat about whether or not to start treatment. Best of luck and please let me know how you get on.
