Well its coming up to 2 weeks since Brenin had his 2nd PRP treatment & was prescribed new pain killers. The transformation has been excellent. He is happy to put his full weight on his left leg which was, prior to the 2nd treatment, almost permanently raised. 

We are going back to Marlow on Wednesday for another non invasive treatment which is hydrogel. This involves injecting into both his front elbows a fluid which helps form a pad between the bones effectively helping make up for damaged cartilage. Once this is done we are hopeful that the non invasive options will have worked and maybe we can have a spring/summer season of outdoor activity in our garden as normal - fingers crossed.

That’s great to hear. Hope the trip on Wednesday goes well and gives the hoped for results.

No time for much in the way of lunch etc., I guess, in view of the distance. Do you use the M4 or M40 to get there?

Thanks EO. We use the M4 to junction 8/9. Food on the run. 7 hour round trip.

Glad to hear he is responding to the treatment and hope he continues to improve.

Ok a further & hopefully final update. Some of this information could prove helpful to other posters who have been very kind in sharing their stories and helping Diane & I understand what is available - I thank you all. 

Hydrogel injections done on Wednesday and after a a bit of dosy day yesterday due to anaesthetic Brenin is back to his lively, good walking self. The vet advised that he was very pleased with progress and that we should now start to introduce off the lead periods in the garden to help build back his muscle tone. We can step this up gradually & keep feeding back videos of his movement for ongoing comment. 

On the subject of pain relief he suggested taking him off after a week. Metacam will still be needed to fight the inflammation which will be ongoing as a result of the arthritis. He suggested two weeks on and two weeks off for the metacam reducing his exposure & possibilities of side effects. Oracle's advice of regular blood tests will be taken on board.

GPR, that’s great to hear and another reminder re modern tech allowing long distance info share on progress with the videos.

Interesting re the Metacam 2 on 2 off regime. Our collie is 13 or so and he’s been on it solidly for a year. Will bring this up with the vets next time. Will ask our French vets next month when he has his pre-return to UK check what they reckon. We prefer our vets there to here. More experience and less turnover of staff.
