My Dog Charlie
Has Carpal Hyperextension. What Would You Recommend?
There are a number of medical conditions that happen in the carpal area of your dog (the wrist).
Carpal Hyperextension is when the ligaments in your dog's wrist get stretched, and your dog's wrist then gets closer to the floor. It can be particularly hard to watch your dog have this condition. Take your dog immediately to your vet if you think your dog has carpal hyperextension.
Your vet will likely do an MRI scan which looks at ligaments, and this will show they are stretched. Your vet might also do an X Ray which will show there is nothing wrong or changed with the bones.
