Noticed a message posted by a visitor on the above. Hoped someone might reply as I have a bitch with a similar problem, but no one has. We presume She tore a ligament in the inner thigh and there was protien leakage and calification of the muscle. Had her xrayed to confirm - Vet thought it would re absorb gradualy. Its increased over past four years.She is a very hard working gundog - it doesn't slow her down but she favours the leg when she is tired. Tried magnatherapy and some homeophathic remedies but nothing affects it

Hi Lynn,
do you mind me asking what homeopathic remedies you used. In the book Homeopathic Medicine for Dogs (H.G.Wolff), it gives a remedy called Mineral (also called Vermiculite). It says it is "capable of regulating disturbed calcium levels if the trend is moving in the direction of either decalcification or calcification". It is actually talking about bone but if it regulates to what should be normal then it may work for your dogs problem. Just a thought.

http://www.ainsworths.com/ sells a remedy called Mineral. It might be worth asking their advice.

I've never heard of this problem before but hope someone who has comes along soon.

Hi Lynn.

I'm not a dog but I have a similar problem with calcium. The Doctors suggested physiotherapy first, but that didn't work, then ultasound, that did work, but I had to stop that because of the pain as the calcium was broken up, now I take tablets, those work but its a very slow process. hope that gives you some ideas.

Hi Robert

Lynn
